Hydrogen can also be used as a replacement for domestic gas heating. So
if we can economically provide enough wind power overcapacity, the two

Make far more sense to use electricity produced by wind power to heat our
houses directly. I'd guess upgrading the grid rather cheaper than
installing a high pressure pipe network.

The point was hydrogen generation can be used as a battery.

And works with existing domestic infrastructure, boilers and radiators.

Heat pumps may be good for new buildings but converting existing
property would be problematic.

Hydrogen could be used in the existing pipe network.
