sHell hasnt' been a big player in H2 and last August the new CEO abandoned CALIFORNIA stations.

Shell Abandons California Hydrogen Stations [19/09/2023].

Shell has quietly abandoned its plans to construct 48 new light-duty hydrogen stations in CA. Surprising move comes despite being awarded substantial government grants, amounting to $40.6 million, for this very initiative back in 2020

But they are still in Europe - selling hydrogen. Will they be forced to give back the $40m they are apparently trying to steal? Let's ask the new CEO LOL. There's 5 new DATS 24 stations that have nothing to do with sHell in Belgium now selling H2 at 9.99 euros per Kg - literally less than 1/3rd the cost of Truly Zero stations in California ($36/Kg). But none of these bashers know literally anything about this stuff.

Compare that to the CA H2 train wreck



This might be a good time to remind fans of huge batteries for everything that batteries have problems too. But many ignore all of that - just wait until one of these new battery-only school buses burn up and the vids/pics of the kids trying desperately to climb out of a window makes the rounds on social media. It will be a whole new day for batteries.
