People who oppose hydrogen because they are financially threatened by it are literal Luddites

It's the original definition of Luddism: They were textile workers who opposed textile machines because they felt their jobs were threatened. With hydrogen, it is now people who have jobs related to batteries or BEVs, or perhaps they have investments in those same companies, who are threatened. If their opposition to hydrogen originates from this, then they are literal Luddites.

It's an interesting factual note once you read about the history of Luddism. So it's not a slur to use it against them. In fact it's the most accurate description of the loudest critics of hydrogen.

Just something I've picked up recently.
