hydrogen is just a fossil fuel investment. yeah let's just keep pouring money and resources into hydrogen, which requires natural gas for production in 95% of cases. We'll get to green hydrogen later, after we've left you with the bag
The "blue hydrogen", "produced from natural gas which is then sequestered" bit is a ridiculous stretch though. Forcing byproducts back into the ground is one of the "justifications"/"pros" for fracking.
You can't ask the government to drive innovation and take on difficult challenges if people keep labelling everything that might not work out a boondoggle. The IRA was like $800 billion. It's okay if 7 is spent on a longshot.

Boondoggle. What's the hullabaloo about this tomfoolery? It's all gobbledygook to me.

NIMBYs everywhere, go figure.
