But where does Hydrogen come from? In California, 20% of our electricity comes from zero CO2 renewables (sun, wind, geothermal), another 20% from zero CO2 hydro, and only 20.1% As more renewables come online, battery electrics just keep getting cleaner and greener. So, Nimrod, didnt you realize that FCVs would cause CO2 emissions as well?
