    That sounds fun. Not only are we already losing ton of energy to create the hydrogen, we can now lose even more and make it more expensive by trying to liquefy/compress it to make it somewhat transportable. [1]

    Also, almost 90% of humans living in the northen hemisphere will surely not cause any issues to this plan. [2]

      You’re not LOSING anything if it’s capturing already excess energy, which would by its nature be lost if not used at the time of generation

        Neither solar panels, nor hydrogen generators are free. If you need to build extra panels and hydrogen generators, you are making the infrastructure more expensive, consequently raising electricity prices. Or hydrogen prices if you use it as fuel instead of power storage.
