“more efficient just to use the electricity to power the stove directly”

Some people like to cook with a flame.

“Hydrogen when used in this context is a means of storage of energy.”

Also, maybe mostly, used in industrial processes.

Me too. Gas is superior.

This sub-topic started by a suggestion to use H2 as the “fuel”. H2 isn’t a fuel but rather a means of storage of energy. The H2 has to come from somewhere so the costs of extracting the H2 either from water or a hydrocarbon must be included when determining the efficiency of the system. As things are, using H2 as a fuel is horribly inefficient and does not scale well.
