@LuisAldamiz That's a bold claim. All computers are based on a mathematical paper published in 1936. Nearly 100 years old. Does that make it obsolete? No, no it doesn't, because it is True. The problems with hydrogen are intrinsic and are well understood. See well understood, "even an undergraduate" can see them. The 'problem' with hydrocarbons is not that they exist, it's that there is no cycle for maintaining equilibrium. If all the hydrocarbons we burned were created using carbon-free technology and took carbon from the atmosphere, we would be carbon neutral.

@Feolips Yes, H2 storage IS harder than an oil rig!!! The "better energy density" of H2 comes at a massive cost - it has to be in liquid form, which takes a massive amount of energy. There are also a number of material problems associated with hydrogen, because it can pass through materials. Here's a thought: Instead of breaking-down natural hydrocarbons to free the hydrogen (and do, what, with the carbon?), how about creating synthetic hydrocarbons from atmospheric CO2 which would, at worst, maintain current CO2 levels? I understand why you think H2 is a good idea, but it isn't. Synthetic hydrocarbons are EASILY a better, cheaper solution.
