However, I suppose the issue comes down to an electric motor vs a hydrogen engine. Per 'unit' of solar generation, is it better to store this as power in a battery and then run motors, or is it better to convert to hydrogen and then use that in a hydrogen engine. A lot of factors in those equations.
I agree, but my point all along has been, I even explicity stated it, that untill we can find a renewable nonpoluting method of producing hydrogen then the dream of the hydrogen economy is not only impossible, but stupid.
