The "attacks" are from organizations that pay attention to actual implementation of the technology, finding it to be nothing more than another distraction & boondoggle by the fossil fuels industry. Like ethanol or biodiesel, both of which similarly require the preservation of a robust petrochemical industry.

Some context on my views here: I work on an R&D team at a company that develops electrolyzer technology. This obviously makes me biased, but I can promise you that every person at this company and all of our customers are investing in hydrogen with the singular goal of solving climate change. Our entire founding team is comprised of former leaders of solar & green power companies, and they recognized that the current bottleneck for onboarding more renewable electricity to the grid is the storage problem. The rollout of new electrolyzer technology is quite literally an extension of and addition to the renewable electricity ecosystem, so it’s weird how people pit hydrogen against electricity. I can assure you that we view the fossil fuel industry as the bad guys.

I also work at a similar company, specifically developing green electrolyzers, and we're also just driven (and have been for over a decade) by the idea that we can give a better world to future generations. It's a nice conspiracy theory but from the inside, I can assure you it's just not true.
