You forget that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If you put solar panels up, that's energy not being absorbed by the Earth to create radiant heat or by trees for photosynthesis. Windmills take energy away from wind currents, which means that moisture won't be moved in-land for rainfall.

The point is that hydrogen isn't a cure to the energy crisis. You still need to use power generated by fossil fuel or nuclear power stations to render it.

Too bad it takes more energy to convert water to hydrogen than what it yields.
