Hydrogen isn't just laying around to burn. You can't run over to the hydrogen lake and scoop some up. It has to be made. Making it takes a LOT of energy. That energy will come from Nuclear or fossil fuels.

Yep. It takes more energy to split water than is released from the comustion of hydrogen. It is like taking electricity to MAKE electricity. It just does not work.

Its best to think of hydrogen as a battery
