Well I went to a lecture by the original US guy pushing this tech
and his visions are not electric.

His ideas were about safety and how it is all improved
over the ages to transport the stuff safely.

If hydrogen is being used as a battery, that doesn't bode
well either. The current ideas all go around improving cheaper
flow batteries. Hydrogen has no viable future
because its infinitely more dangerous to handle the stuff.

Also there are more cheaper solid state batteries coming
on to the market. How long before you put in a sodium
battery behind each solar panel is an interesting question.
