Right, but the problem is really with hydrogen handling, and all the complexities that would be pushed onto, say, every vehicle. Keeping a hydrocarbon in a container is much, much easier than keeping a single hydrogen atom in a container.

This completely disregards the question of why is it easier to overeat on carbs than it is on protein/fats? Protein is as calorie dense as carbs, and fat is twice as calorie dense as carbs. So it isn't mere volume of food in the
