Will it cost more than gas though? It costs $5 per kilogram, but that doesn’t really help compare cost to gas unless we know the relative amount it will take to get us per mile etc.

If we only need a little bit of it, then it would be much cheaper, but if we need even a decent amount, it would be much more expensive.

The last time I looked at hydrogen powered vehicles, they were planning on storing it at 10,000 PSI in steel tanks buried in the trunk. The tank better be well anchored... it could be quite a missile.

Yes, but the point is to get free of imported oil and make Algore a lot of money. Oh, wait, Algore only makes money by buying/selling carbon credits and there aren't any with this. win-win

True, but with economics of scale that price may come down. There oceans full of hydrogen to be harvested and I'd rather give my money to an American hydrogen manufacturer rather than sheiks who pay millions for camels.
