Gasoline is a transport mechanism for solar power just like green hydrogen is. The difference is only that oil was stored by nature millions of years ago while green hydro is stored by humans today.
The important point is whether or not the energy used to create it was "free". From a human perspective, the energy that was spent creating oil was "free". But if you have an intermittent surplus of renewable power and use it to create green hydrogen it is also "free".

- _hypx 4y agoPractically no competing energy storage idea is going to be as cheap. With hydrogen, the only raw material is water. Nothing else can claim that they are utilizing resources that plentiful.
