I don't see conflicting opinions. I just see different motives.
Agreed; H2 via electrolysis is not efficient by most comparisons. But, since when is a fireplace anyone's first choice for an efficient means of heating a home? Yet millions of people (including myself and other environmentally conscious individuals) choose to use fuel inefficiently from time to time and create a pleasant atmosphere -- especially when family and friends are gathered together during their time off.
Given that hydrogen burns with a nearly invisible flame, it's hard to
visualize this kind of benefit.
Although it's hard to quantify, there is value in activities like
sitting in front of a fireplace.
I can understand that. However, there is so much hype concerning
hydrogen as an energy carrier, as if it's some grand solution to all
of our energy problems, that many responses to this thread carry a
measure of disgust. Why can't we simply use LESS energy, rather than
touting a technology that will increase energy waste?
