The BIGGEST problem with clean energy

Hydrogen is (obviously) looked at through rose tinted glasses. It is hard to make hydrogen through electrolysis because pure water is an insulator. It does *not* conduct electricity unless it is polluted with salts, which will cause wear of the electrodes and impure hydrogen (think chlorine in your fuel when table salt would be used). Additionally, hydrogen is difficult to store. It is such a small atom that it will seep through steel (making it brittle and prone to rupturing in the process). Ironically, the most efficient method of storing hydrogen in a readily usable way we know is hooking eighteen of them up to eight carbon atoms. This molecule is  liquid and stable at room temperature and can be stored indefinitely. Local storage at the production site does not require special cryogenic pressure tanks.
