I'm saying that perhaps in the future you use electricity to convert (ie: Print) hydrogen to store electricity, but also need another container obtained in some other manner to store the hydrogen (ie: fuel cell).

This is simply electrolysis and fuel cell, a battery. We already have batteries that do this, far cheaper than hydrogen. Right now you can buy home storage and solar for pretty cheap compared to even 10 years ago.
Unless you're talking about somehow converting anti matter into matter. We can do that but not in the way you're thinking, grow a tree.

Long story short, I wouldn't be offended if you think I'm blowing hot air.

I don't think that I'm open minded to any new tech, if it's real or possible.
The problem with hydrogen is simply cost, it doesn't matter how great it might potentially be if the cost per unit of energy is high it will never be viable.
Transport costs alone are very high.
