There is a serious risk that hydrogen fuel cell technology for
transportation will die on the vine.  This situation needs to be
addressed urgently.

When I started driving an FCEV car in 2017, the cost of hydrogen
was $17 per kg.  Now, hydrogen is $36/kg.  The difference is the
loss of subsidies.

As a result of inadequate subsidies and lack of supply, buyers are
turning away from hydrogen-powered vehicles.  Because of this,
energy companies are hesitating to invest in hydrogen fueling
stations.  This is a vicious cycle that endangers the prospect of
de-carbonizing transportation.

Battery-based electric vehicles are not a solution.  They require
large-scale mining of toxic substances.  They require dedicated
parking that is incompatible with high-density and/or low-income
housing.  And, they take too long to recharge during long trips.

Please bring back reasonable hydrogen prices at the pump.
