If you put more energy to make the hydrogen than what ends up as hydrogen, then the hydrogen will be very, very expensive.

Solar and wind are both very inefficient at the moment. I can't see how anyone could make money using those to create hydrogen.

Hydro is nice but not everyone has access to it.
