Secondly, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen (presumably using electricity) and then recombining it in a fuel cell, is a losing proposition energy wise. Yes it increasese the portability as hydrogen storage is currently more efficeint than batteries, but if you're talking about distribution networks eletricity is much more readily available, so we're probably better off to work no batter tech, than to build a hydrogen infrastructure.

yes I just looked it up in case i was wrong because the last time I learned about fuel cells was high school chemistry and I was under the false memory that the input and the output were both water. My mistake
