The quote is totally messed up for sure. What annoys me as well is that image is not even from that scene or the same person. Doesn’t it come from the “inconceivable” poison cup scene?
Hydrogen is a pretty complicated gas to deal with. The flame is nearly invisible in daylight meaning you could be standing in a Hydrogen fire and only tell because your skin is burning off. The molecule is so small that its hard to contain it because seals leak. Storage of hydrogen is also a problem. The density is also very very low in both gaseous and cryogenic liquid form which means you have to have very large containers compared to most other fuels.
The article proposes to graduate hydrogen to a utility grade fuel, which isn’t impossible, its just really really hard, and other alternatives are much easier to accomplish the same goal.
One approach may be to located hydrogen combustion or hydrogen fuel cells very close to the point of extraction turning it into electricity as soon as possible. That would bypass most of the storage challenges at least. However, this idea comes with its own challenges as hydrogen extraction points may not be near utility grade power lines for transport of the electricity produced.

It annoys me that the meme’s quote is wrong. It’s “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means”.
The quote is totally messed up for sure. What annoys me as well is that image is not even from that scene or the same person. Doesn’t it come from the “inconceivable” poison cup scene?
I think the scene is when Wesley’s sailboat is catching up on Vidzini’s boat and the Giant corrects Vidzini who repeated that yes! … “inconceivable”
Correct, but it’s when Wesley is climbing the rope and they are at the top looking down at him.
it was the cutting the rope scene.

Amongst other things it is about this :
46 000 000 000 kg H2
…which I posted a few hours ago
Well that was a shit read, asks for a subscription 2.5 sentences in
