Large-scale hydrogen production is commonly based on fossil fuels right now, and that's what many fossil fuel companies push when they talk hydrogen. End-to-end efficiency is also not that great. That doesn't necessarily disqualify hydrogen, but it's not as obvious as often presented.

It seems like a good hydrogen chain could look like: solar panels floating in the ocean split the water and store it, a tanker picks it up and takes it to port. Burn hydrogen at a power plant for the grid, condense the vapor and use it for drinking or farming.
It seems like a great fit for...a lot of use cases. (if we can get over some of the storage hurdles)
