Re: So much potential

actually producing, compressing, and chilling the hydrogen is pretty carbon-intensive with current technology

Not really. With *current technology* we can do it for free, the input being water, by-product Oxygen. The fact there hasn't been any investment to scale up isn't the fault of existing technology, it's the fault of governments and people like Elon Musk who are sending the world down the wrong path. We could all be driving HICEVs by now with fairly minimal investment.
