1. We've been drilling holes in the Earth for a century without coming across huge hydrogen reserves. Wishful thinking...

...bullshit to hype and advertise hydrogen that will magically appear in drilling rigs, while hydrogen will continued to be produced by fossil fuels, just as it is now, is not going to do a fucking thing in any time scale that will matter, other than produce the result that all this hydrogen hype is all about: Greenwashing fossil fuels.

I note that with rising seas, the combustion product of hydrogen is water, not that there is a single fossil fuel greenwashing hydrogen hype pusher here who gives a flying fuck about the environment in general or rising seas in particular.

Like so called "green hydrogen" geological hydrogen is pure "bait and switch."

The extreme collapse of the planetary atmosphere is happening now, not in some fantasy never-never land where we "Drill, baby, Drill," for hydrogen, were it real and were it accessible.
