DOA. Hindenburg. No range. Too heavy. Fossil Fuels are everywhere, are cheap, easy to store, and infinitely renewable. Read “Fossil Future” from Alex Epstein.
Hydrogen IS very abundant, but not in a free form. And it takes energy to separate it, process it, and compress it. The last is the issue - practicality demands storage as a gas, thus requiring very strong cylinders to contain it, with the obvious limited quantities. It is extremely difficult to manage as a liquid and, with present technology, impractical for transportation of this type. Each new technology has its inherent downfalls which may be overcome with future developments - but as they say, “we ain’t there yet!.”
