Idk, seems like it’d be easier just to string up electric lines and run on electricity. Probably more efficient too since you don’t have to haul fuel.

Also, most hydrogen is made from fossil fuels because it's super inefficient to convert renewables to hydrogen.

Yep. It is just bullshit greenwashing. Green rail is solved. It is just running on the grid, and trying to turn the grid as green as possible. All this other stuff is bullshit.
