Tip,

You raise very valid points about H as an energy storage mechanism. Perhaps it is a good storage means for intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar. Surely as efficient if not more so than pumped hydro storage, as used in CA today?

There are vast tracts of 'worthless' land bathed in solar radiation daily. Pipelines could carry the resulting H to point source applications, perhaps with less energy loss than electrical transmission? I don't know, I haven't worked the numbers.

And there recently was completed a solar film production facility, near San Diego I believe. Do a google search on 'self assembling solar' and see what you turn up. I think we may be on the cusp of larger scale solar conversion becoming more economic, but then what about nighttime? Hydrogen anyone?

FWIW
