Joe Romm, one of the best thinkers on energy and climate, once said that two of every 100 18 wheelers on the road carried gasoline or diesel. And if we switched to hydrogen, that would need to jump to twenty out of 100. Maybe if they solve the on-vehicle energy storage issue an 18 wheeler can be fueled at designated depots with giant electrolyzers, but I don't see the corner store pumps fueling hydrogen.
