Plus the demands of building a hydrogen infrastructure basically from scratch. I just don’t see it, it makes no sense other than potential niche applications.

1. Gas turbines 2. Coal-fired powerplants 3. Hydroelectric 4. Wind turbines 5. Solar (domestic and commercial) 6. Thermal Other than thermal and hydro, all other sources of electricity pollute to done degree, and are a net drain on resources. Hydrogen production is becoming a lot more mainstream and cheaper - it's also less polluting than many alternatives. Solar panels, and wind turbines are largely not recyclable as readily as most people would like to think. Neither are spent batteries from millions of EVs. We need a wholesale change in our mode of transportation than just EVs disclaimer: This is a personal opinion and is not intended to start WWIII

Using hydrogen for sustained fusion reaction is the only way you’ll get more energy out than you’ve put in. Maybe for your grandchildren.

Right now I would not be buying a new car, in say 5-7 years when the industry has standardized the system would be a better thought. |

In the end, hydrogen is a just a form of energy carrier.
You're taking the original form of energy - fossil fuel, solar, whatever and converting that to potential in hydrogen. You then have to store, transport, and fill the vehicle with it at high pressures. Then when you're finally ready to use it, you burn it or use it to produce electricity to power the vehicle. Each one of those steps results in a 20%-30% loss of energy. Total waste. It's better to start with electricity at the source and keep it that way until used. |

Either way, with battery or H2 fuel cells, Breeder reactors for energy production to charge EVs and produce H2 are the way to go. I think it will be a combination of both EV and fuel cells depending upon geographical location, re:extreme heat and cold or temperate environments. Until we get on point with the reactors, our energy grids will not handle anything except fossil fuels.
