Are there really people who believe in the idea of "green hydrogen" or is it entirely a psyop?

If you actually are a believer, where do you think they Hydrogen comes from?

Battery fanatics ignore examples like this. Are you a battery fanatic? Do you think that batteries and only batteries is the future of energy?

Hydrogen comes from water. They apply a current to separate the water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Solar and wind power are very inconsistent, it produces excess power at some times, and not enough power at others, and we have to burn coal or natural gas

They can take the excess clean power and use it to perform electrolysis and store the hydrogen, then it can be burned cleanly at off peak times.

So yes, adding hydrogen to the grid does add 'free' electricity that would otherwise go to waste, and has no emissions besides being turned back into water. It wont replace all the other power sources, but there really isn't any drawback to this. It is a far more useful and clean technology than lithium batteries and electric cars.

I'm not sure exactly what you object to about hydrogen

Check out this winery. They are completly off-grid due to having a hydrolyzer. The power got shut down by the electric company when there were fires, but these guys were able to stay powered up
