I have been buying some APD, which is a huge make of liquid hydrogen in the US. The demand for liquid hydrogen would be unlimited. right now, they are using all the liquid hydrogen for canadian oil sands production.

This reply isn't directed at you LoneClone.

Is anyone fooled by this article? Hydrogen in Iceland? Give me a break. That's like saying, "geez, fake boobs in L.A.?". Iceland is probably the only place on Earth that hydrogen production from water makes sense. Nearly limitless geothermal makes it possible, but even then, you're going from geothermal->electricity->hydrogen->electricity. See what's wrong here?

We just need a better battery then we can skip the stupid hydrogen step (because that's all hydrogen is). My tone here is antagonistic to be sure, but I'm trying to draw out a reasoned explanation as to why people still talk about hydrogen as a mass fuel as a desirable option. Someone please tell me what I'm missing. Thanks.
