    How efficient is making hydrogen? If you don’t need a huge facility, it might be easier to just store it that way, so you don’t need giant lakes everywhere.

      Less efficient than pumped hydro. Appears to be about 40% for green hydrogen in the round trip vs 80% for pumped hydro with a quick google search.

        I am curious what’s involved in the “round trip”? Do you mean to fuel other machines directly with hydrogen?
