WHERE does the Hydrogen come from? You can't mine it, you can't harvest
it, you have to either crack it from fossil fuels, or split it from water,
which takes a lot of energy (at least 2X what you get back). It's no
different than a battery. You have to put energy in to get it, then you
get it out about half when you burn it or run it in a fuel cell. It's just
an energy storage system, a little more energy-dense than current
batteries, and can be recharged a little faster. It may have good
application in future aircraft and shipping, maybe long-haul trucking, but
that's about it. It's definitely not something you'd want to use for
stationary storage, as it's too wasteful. Using for transportation, you
might accept the horrible efficiency in exchange for the convenience and
density.
I shouldn't have to explain this to anyone on this list!
