    Sure, if it was free to build, it would be better than not having them (though worse than more efficient types of storage), assuming the cost of refining the steel breaks even.

    There’s a reason fossil fuel companies fund hydrogen.

      Of course this is more expensive. This is the price for being independent of fossil and nuclear fuel.

      Fossil fuel companies support hydrogen plants that use fossil fuel to produce “grey” hydrogen, not green hydrogen produced by renewables.
