Despite the many challenges, I like hydrogen as part of the solution to this stuff. It's easy to produce with commonly available inputs. If we had efficient central energy generation, it's a way of making that energy transportable. When burned (or used in a fuel cell) at the point of use, it burns clean. I suspect the fears about its volatility are manageable. All concentrated forms of energy are dangerous. The issues with containing it and improving its density, I'm not sure. I'm glad we're not just 100% going with batteries. With all of these technologies there's a lot of ??? between here and panacea. I just wish this attitude I see that this is an easy problem and we're going to invent our way out of the energy situation in a few years are a bit glib. The benefits of traditional energy forms are immense. The externalities can no longer be ignored, but we have an immense challenge to get even near parity in a general way. I think we'd do better to more soberly assess the situation. Just to be clear, I'm agreeing with you, but there's a lot of untold story in how we get to the "it will be used for heating and power" bit.
