I think you lack important knowledge about the fundamental physical limitations of storing hydrogen.
For the record, I'm a transhumanist. New tech doesn't scare me, and lackluster present performance isn't something I view as a bad sign when considering the potential of researching new tech. I think you're emotionally invested in something you personally view as the future, like solar roadways or the hyperloop. In my community, it's seen as virtuous to be able to notice and admit when you're wrong. I think more should do the same.
