The truth they can't ever mention is it's mostly oxygen capture and storage. The future belongs to people with big noses.

A regional effort to build out a hydrogen hub in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky will receive up to $925 million as part of the Biden Administration’s effort to decarbonize the U.S. economy.
The Appalachian Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub (Arch2), a West Virginia-led effort that combines the production of hydrogen from natural gas with carbon capture and storage, is one of seven regional hubs that will be funded over the coming years. The administration projects the Arch2 effort will create 18,000 construction jobs and 3,000 permanent jobs.
Another winner is the Mid-Atlantic Clean Hydrogen Hub (Mach2), which envisions development in southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey that would generate hydrogen from renewable and nuclear sources and use it for chemical manufacturing and transportation. The proposal was approved for up to $750 million under the hydrogen hub program.
President Joe Biden and Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm will make the announcement in Philadelphia on Friday.
Hydrogen, a gas that produces no greenhouse gasses when burned, is seen as a promising substitute for fossil fuels in industries that are hard to decarbonize, such as cement and steel making, shipping, and chemical production.
But the little hydrogen that is produced in the U.S. today comes from natural gas and results in large carbon dioxide emissions. So far, clean hydrogen is neither broadly available nor in demand yet. Funding a series of hydrogen hubs across the U.S. would help potential hydrogen makers and takers organize into regional networks that could form the basis of a clean hydrogen economy, Department of Energy officials have said.
This is part of the Biden administration’s ambitious decarbonization goals, which involve a net zero carbon electric grid by 2035 and a net zero economy by 2050.

More power to them no pun.
Pretending hydrogen can be converted from H2O, then isolated and stored without massive use of energy that could have been used without conversion losses = “Something for Nothing”
Wasting $750 million this project = “Nothing for Something”.
Mini-Hindenburg cars/trucks across america?
Kind like flaming EVs?
The stuff IS explosive, you know?
And requires special handling.
Not the only ones, I am sure.
Hydrogen plus Oxygen equals water,which will be in vapor form. H2O is by far the most potent of greenhouse gases.
Yeah, I thought water vapor was supposed to be worse than CO2.
Biden tripped 3 times going up a few steps while there.
Here is the video. It was twice not thrice....
Bidenomics

It was Trump’s fault.

Whatever water vaoir we add through hydrogen combustion, fossil combusttion, etc is trivial compared to global evaporation. All the water vapor that is lost in rainfall is quickly replaced naturally. Our contribution is negigible.
So yes, while water vapor is a much more important greenhouse gas, there's nothing we can do to increase it. In contrast the rise from 280 to 420 ppm of CO2 is mostly manmade.
