But all that warm water will raise the sea level and it will cause more water to evaporate into the atmosphere and cause ice on the roads in the winter and get on windshields so then we have to replace windshield wipers more often and that means there will be more rubber to make for the windshield wipers and….

There is a percentage line loss for every mile you run high voltage electric transmission lines.

And, of course, it takes fuel to transport fuel cross country.

Which is most inefficient? I do not know.

But I do not expect full scale adoption of Hydrogen fueled vehicles until we have a nearly free source of electricity. AKA Fusion powered reactors lining the East and West Coasts, and many major rivers.

There is mention of "Blue Ammonia" being used for fuel.

Is that not a comforting thought? Tanker trains, and trucks transporting enough ammonia to replace the fossil fuel burned in America today.

In the winter, every road around here would be a solid sheet of ice.

Here's what happens. This is a tunnel in Russia. Water drips from the ceiling and freezes on the road.

How is hydrogen made?

One lonely proton meets an available electron, and well, the rest is simply magic.

I'm no chemist but using electricity will break the water molecule apart and separate the H from the 0. It takes more power to break them apart than what's returned when the H is burned so it takes an outside source of energy to do it. It's not a perpetual motion machine.

Hydrogen costs $14 per gallon of equivalent gasoline. Other than that it's great.
