    We aren’t consuming batteries anywhere near the rate we consume oil and coal. Hydrogen even less than batteries.

    So the amount of ships needed would still be a fraction of what we use now.

      not now, but if hydrogen were to be used as an energy source/storage, then it’d be used plenty. same with batteries

        If you have water you have hydrogen.

        there’s no reason to transport hydrogen if they build infrastructure to use it as a fuel they will build a process to make it on site
