Burning “green hydrogen” would still be as inefficient as gas obviously, with our current combustion engines.
But producing green hydrogen is also really expensive. So you’d need subsidies, where’s that money coming from?
Green hydrogen also obviously cannot even be produced in quantities just the most important industries would need it in to replace natural gas, not even speaking about trucks, or cars, or planes.
It’s a mirage. There is so much wrong with this idea, it’s ridiculous.

Especially if you consider the alternative. Where every single sqm of exposed surface can potentially be turned into an energy collector. Where wind in abundance charges batteries that last a neighborhood for days, even without clear skies or renewed gusts. Where people are no longer dependent on energy markets, power companies, an intricate web of logistical processes that ship liquid energy to the remotest ends of the earth. Because the energy is already there.
