3. Really? Hope? At a scale of millimoles per kg?

It would require the processing of 73 kg of water to get a single gram of hydrogen. (The molecular weight of hydrogen is 2.0158 g/mol.) Whence the energy for this process? From magic hydrogen?

All of these ads that are here intending to rebrand fossil fuels as hydrogen are absurd and many of them require extreme scientific illiteracy to take seriously. This one is among the most illiterate which is saying something because in general these "green hydrogen" posts/ads are appallingly absurd. Regrettably scientific illiteracy is hardly in short supply. Hence, for half a century this "Green hydrogen" scam while waxing and waning in a somewhat sinusoidal fashion, rears its ugly head every decade or so.

If they are AI, they fail the Turing test.

Meanwhile the planet is burning.
