I have refrained from participating in this discussion before, but I
certainly have some doubts about your remark about H2.
I know H2 has some wonderful advantages. If you allow it to react with
oxygen in a fuel cell you get electricity and water. Zer pollution.
Fantastic! Also, you can store far more energy by using it to
dissociate water into O2 and H2 than by storing it in a battery for
instance. Great! However, the big question that very few people seem
to be able to answer (myself included) is where the energy to make the
H2 should come from? I'm sure you're aware that H2 is not something
you can dig up from the ground. Perhaps our hope should lie with
nuclear fusion, though that's not without its own problems either.
In my opinion H2 not the answer to a possible energy/environmental
crisis. Focussing on H2 is just replacing one problem with another.

Until we develop nuclear fusion,we can use nuclear fission.

We must put more effort into waste disposal and 'burning' of hi-level
wastes.And put all the waste into the Yucca Repository until those
techniques are developed.
