The Hydrogen Economy ???

Reports such as this one suggest that hydrogen powered engines can help save us from climate change:

But reports like THIS one should tell you that a massive conversion of the power grid will be necessary to achieve a real "hydrogen economy":

Not only will this be difficult to achieve, it will also be quite expensive.

If we go down this road, please make certain the trillion$ are wisely spent and don't just turn billionaires into trillionaires.

And PLEASE, build the infrastructure here; don't buy it from China.
