But still cost 2-3 times more energy, and energy costs money.

We’re talking about a situation where big investments in lithium batteries have lead to a possible massive increase in the cost of lithium production, and you’re assuming we wouldn’t see similar enhancements in hydrogen production - electrolysis is one route but some of the catalytic pathways are showing some outrageous experimental efficiencies. Dream a little, that’s the subthread I started and the thread you’re necessitated to respond to if you want to have a productive discussion
