I'm in agreement with most of this.
Energy storage *is* the key for the further and in dealing with renewables.
The technology to use can vary, and depends on several factors, such as the
scale of storage, and time needed for storage. In dealing excess renewables,
batteries are probably the way
H2 as an energy storage medium and source of power for EVs to has
theoretical merit if we ever have truly significant renewable power
generation in the US.
In this scenario the inefficiencies are of less consequence because on a
very large scale storing H2 is quite cheap particularly in comparison

But there're a lot of big differences today. For one, the whole field of
vehicles was brand-new -- as was the electric

You might well have said the same thing about gasoline cars in the early
years of the 20th century. Compared to EVs, they were noisy, stinky, and
unreliable. The fuel was hard to get, and dange

Between VW and now Toyota, the big automakers are signaling that we're now
officially at the end of the ICE era and that the transition to a post-ICE
world has begun.
