This is solving the wrong problem. There is no shortage of hydrogen.
We can get it from sea water. The problem is extracting it cheaply
enough to get a net gain in energy. This discovery just provides
another source of hydrogen that takes more energy to extract than it
provides. It does not progress the state of the art for using hydrogen
as an energy source.
