Hydrogen can be created from water and electricity



It can yes, but the efficiency is laughable. It's only viable when you've got essentially free renewables AND you've filled every battery you can.


Water is quite affordable and so is solar. The efficiency of both solar and electrolysis will likely increase as more research is done.


Obviously. But if you already have the electricity it's more efficient to use it directly.
