A great summary of the hydrail report at:

Still a long read, but does a great job of explaining the risks and tradeoffs.
TLDR: The 2025 electrification target's a fantasy if we go with an infant technology that's never been built on this scale. Also, efficiencies suck and the slow consumer march to electric vehicles puts the whole idea of off peak only hydrogen production at risk too.
