The trouble with H2 is you have to (typically) extract it from water.
One of the easier ways is probably electrolysis, but that requires
electricity, and where does the US get at least 50% of its electricity?
Fossil fuels - we're back to square one.
Now, if people would just start taking pebble bed reactors seriously to
generate electricity from fission (safer & cleaner than present nuke
plants in the US), we might be able to overcome that little obstacle.
But it won't happen for a long time - mention nuclear and the NIMBY
crowd comes out before they've even heard the facts.
