#1 Forget that the thermodynamics and chemistry of splitting water to H2 and O consumes more energy than it produces and focus on how the process makes you feel about yourself.

Dolts...

#3 Thirty years ago, Scientific American investigated the hydrogen energy 'source' and concluded the only way it was practicable was if you use cheap nuclear power to make it.

I guess the clowns in DC now were too young to read then.

#5 The real life version of hydrogen production cracks methane (CH4), trapping the resultant H2, leaving whole lotta carbon to be dealt with. Also, they burn a bunch of methane to power the whole thing.
Don't let them tell you hydrogen tech is clean.
It's just dirty somewhere else.
