The best time for Hydrogen adoption was 10 years ago.

The second best time is NOW.

Hydrogen is just an energy storage medium. Energy required to create and store it still has to come from somewhere else.

Energy which can come from Solar (*a Hydrogen Fusion reactor but far away), Wind and Nuclear.

Lithium Batteries aren’t a sovereign solution for most countries, OTOH Japan could be largely independent with Hydrogen.
