“Hydrogen is inefficient, is unlikely to be available and will therefore remain expensive in the medium and long term,’ the environmentalists write in the letter to the administrations of all 10,753 municipalities in the country. The gas lobby is based on studies all of which were commissioned or financed by the gas industry.
