What's cool about hydrogen is actually the storage because for a lot of uses you don't need very high pressure. For example if you wanted an off-grid power supply for your house there's no reason you couldn't get a fuel cell and a week's worth of lower pressure storage tanks for a few thousand or maybe less even.

It's a whole different tradeoff from batteries. Hydrogen is cheap hardware and expensive energy, battery is expensive hardware and cheap energy.

I suppose eventually we'll have cheap batteries made from graphene or whatever, but that might be a long way off.
