Good article, thank you.

I am retired chemist. I can assure that a kg of H2 contains a significant amount of potential energy.

The problem is that it takes more energy to produce a kg of the stuff than it intrinsically contains. Then there is the issue of storing and transporting, amoung other problems that also require even more energy input, likely from fossil fuels.

The Laws of Physics and Thermodynamics still hold, but that is ignored typically these days for the "Green Agenda".

Hydrogen still has value as a locally produced feedstock for other processes.

If it was produced from nuclear driven electrolysis, that would be an advantage.

Water vapour is considered a greenhouse gas, correct?
