        It wouldn’t. Hydrogen production from any source is extremely power intense. Especially so from water. The amount of energy wasted on hydrogen production is easily offset by battery production and recycling. And that’s not even accounting for hydrogen tank production, which is another hell hole.

          There are plenty of places with abundant green energy, and abundant water. As for the tank yea, but idk if it’s worse than lithium

            The energy is only abundant until the moment you start wasting it. Hydrogen fuel is a waste of energy.

              Renewable energy doesn’t have a tap, you either use it when generated or don’t. If there’s an excess now it can be used. But yea hydrogen fuel may be a waste or not I don’t know. But to say theres an energy shortage everywhere is just not true.
