Yes, it's a half-baked idea.

I stopped reading after "nor will its use reduce global warming,
because of the cost and greenhouse gases generated during production"

Why? that is, in fact, entirely correct, unless you know a way (other
than nuclear of generating a lot of reliable electrictity from non
fossil sources.

Actually, although I'm not a wind turbine fan, surely this is one possible
reason to build the things. The reliability of supply is less of an issue
when you have the ability to store energy in the form of hydrogen

In general though, I agree that chasing hydrogen as a cure for all our ills
is akin to joining a gym to get fit. In your heart, you know it's just
displacement activity to stop you doing any *real* exercise that might be
difficult or tiring.
