At least it doesn’t pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.
That said, I do like the idea of converting excess energy to hydrogen. If only there was an energy source that wouldn’t cause global warming, would be a great base load next to more fickle renewables, and which could be diverted to generating hydrogen when demand for energy is low.
It still emitted more carbon more to build than most people will emit in their lifetime, kinda like burning the house down but telling everyone its ok because you saved the shed.

Yeah… Germany has so much renewable energy they’re bringing coal plants back online.
Good guy Norway on the renewables though. Definitely not one of the largest crude oil exporters either.
