Could be big This was the key sentence in that article.. hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but does not occur naturally on our planet Hydrogen has a similar problem to one that affects batteries as well. That being that neither one is a primary energy source, rather, they're energy storage devices. It takes other energy sources both to create hydrogen and to provide the electricity needed in order to charge batteries. They are simply transfer devices from one energy source to another. Corn ethanol is another example that takes nearly as much, or more, energy to produce as it provides to the end user. IMO, hydrogen fuel will only make sense if sometime in the future, fusion technology or something like it can provide the quantities of cheap abundant electricity needed to create it economically..
