exactly.

It fits every single real requirement.
- low carbon
- cheap
- dispatchable (up to a surprising degree)
- fuel is easily stockpiled and comes from 'friendly' places.
- needs no massive grid upgrades
- compact and very low environmental impact.
- ultra low pollution.

And its the easiest way to mass produce hydrogen to power vehicles.
You can superheat the water which lowers the energy needed to split it into
its elements.


Only the utter panic in peoples minds is the barrier.
