But the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster has the country rethinking its reliance on atomic energy. Presently, the vast majority of hydrogen is produced using coal or natural gas as feedstocks. Germany even had to pivot back toward coal for energy production after realizing there was no way to build enough wind and solar farms.

At present, PHEV technology alone is equipped to improve the current electric grid. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. So the PHEV can simply use a small amount of this needed liquid fuel in the future.
