Mostly nonsense, but people stuck into hydrogen do get stuck in nonsense.
Hydrogen trains vs electric:

Hydrogen trucks:
Electricity costs:
Peeples clearly doesn't accept that electricity costs are multiplied by 3-5 if hydrogen is manufactured. Peeples wasn't elected based on his STEM skills clearly.
Natural experiment: how many electric vs fuel cell trucks and buses are there in the most decarbonized ground transportation country in the world, China?
1.1 million battery electric trucks and buses. About 10,00 fuel cell vehicles.
Hydrogen is dead, Peeples is betting on a dead horse, and California will lag on decarbonization as a result. Not as badly as much of the rest of America, so okay.
