Oil Lobby's $88 million USD of Rotting Hydrogen Buses; Australian Video on the Oil Lobby's Scam. [View all]

We have a lot of fossil fuel greenwashing ads here trying to rebrand fossil fuels as hydrogen.

Looking for videos of the million dollar hydrogen buses blowing up in California - they certainly exist - I came across this one, from an Australian.

I didn't have time to watch the whole thing. It's pretty clear on who's driving this worthless scam: Fossil fuel companies.

The speaker praises electric buses, but these are also indirectly - in most cases - fueled by fossil fuels.
