The links go to ways to use hydrogen but no mention on how to produce hydrogen. Do a search on hydrogen production. To my surprise, liquid hydrogen actually contains more BTUs than gasoline per pound. The pounds are bigger. It takes a fair shot of energy to liquify hydrogen but hydrogen vehicles

Hydrogen is the smallest atom we know making it difficult to contain. Hydrogen has very low energy content meaning you need very high pressures (5,000 psi to 10,000 psi) to carry enough to get anywhere. These pressures make refueling a challenge and a wreck overly exciting even excluding any
