  1. Ammonia has more potential as an energy storage medium than hydrogen, at least outside of rocket fuel. But there's still the problem of all the energy lost in producing it.

  2. There've been some interesting experiments with putting sails on cargo ships. Not old fashioned cloth sails, but modern rigid or inflatable structures that can be stowed when not in use. I don't think they provide enough energy to make the ship diesel-free, but they can cut down on the amount of fuel needed for a trip.

  3. A pretty good summary of the problems with hydrogen. The only thing I'd add is that battery electric buses are very possible. We have some in my city, and I like them a lot. The electric motors make for much smoother starts and stops. I think many governments are interested in hydrogen because (like you said in your video) the cheapest way to produce it is from natural gas. So the big fossil fuel multinationals see grey hydrogen as a way to keep on selling gas like always, and they throw their considerable weight in lobbyists and bribes behind it. They're determined to extract every last cent from their holdings no matter what that does to the world around them.
