"Many consider hydrogen to be the fuel of the future because it produces no carbon emissions when burned, meaning it does not add to global warming."
Hydrogen combustion produces water vapor, which is a more effective greenhouse gas than CO2. But leave the global warming fanatics their illusions.

Water vapor can easily be filtered at emission.

Hydrogen is a storage device, much like a battery.
There are no hydrogen mines, it has to be produced (at a great energy cost) and compressed into a liquid for storage. Transporting hydrogen by truck requires an expenditure of energy equalling a large percentage of the cargo’s energy.
Hydrogen is a scam.

Never mind that in order to be in usable form, hydrogen must be released from whatever molecule it is covalently bonded to, and that it takes at least as much energy to break those bonds as is returned by burning the hydrogen to reform bonds later on.
Those little physics based drawbacks of hydrogen usage are the reason that the hydrogen fuel cell fad of the 90s never really caught on (except briefly among those who don’t understand physics).

Except in this manner, hydrogen is not a fuel, it is an energy transfer media, essentially a battery.
