Edit to add;

Yes, H2 can and is also made using fossil fuels, but this article clearly refers to "clean" H2 which is made strictly without the use of fossil fuels OR energy produced from fossil fuels.

Your contention that all Hydrogen production and use is a scam to burn more fossil fuels borders on a conspiracy theory promoted BY the fossil fuel industry (or in some cases, the nuclear industry) to discredit the value of H2 in our effort to transition away from CO2 emitting energy sources.
