    And where are you gonna get the hydrogen from? You have any idea how power inefficient electrolysis is!?

      Yes. Do you have any idea how much energy we’re wasting because nuclear power plants produce way more than we need because they can’t scale easily or that most green energy generation is at the time people don’t actually need it? Hydrogen is a prefect storage solution for that power.

        It is somewhere to put energy, when you filled the efficient storage. But that doesn’t make it good for transport.
