I think the hydrogen is intended to be sourced from natural gas, which is not a great thing. The only way I see this working in an environmentally sustainable way is an efficient means of solar hydrolysis (much more efficient than photosynthesis).

Yeah one of the big downsides of hydrogen is that you need massive amounts of clean energy to make it worthwhile.

No problem IF the energy is cheap and/or free
