Z, from your article:

<Moreover, getting the hydrogen can be a problem and can produce greenhouse gases. Hydrogen does not exist on its own but is locked up in water and fossil fuels. The goal is to use wind energy to pluck hydrogen from water in the ocean, but in the near term it's more likely that the hydrogen will come from natural gas.>

This is the fundamental problem with a hydrogen-based energy system. Unlike what most people think, hydrogen is not a source of energy in itself. It is only an energy-storage medium. You still need a source of energy in order to extract hydrogen from water (the only renewable source of hydrogen out there).

How are we going to do that? Wind or solar power? Expensive. Coal or gas power plants? Kind of defeats the goal of getting away from fossil fuels. Nuclear power? Only two-bit dictatorships (and France <G>) would want a nuke plant in their backyards.
