IF the hydrogen can be sourced from the dissociation of water AND renewable energy is used to power it THEN hydrogen could make sense. That's a lot of work to produce a fuel with poor energy density. Using energy dense fossil fuels to produce hydrogen is the pinnacle of stupidity.
No, I think a solar powered flashlight is more of the pinnacle of stupidity.
