2. "By 2070?" No kidding? Really? In 1976 it was "By 2000" according to the asshole Amory Lovins.

Sorry, but the laws of thermodynamics will still hold in 2070, just like they did in 1976, in 2000, and in 2024.

Hydrogen will still be a filthy fuel made from dangerous fossil fuels, with extremely poor physical properties, although no doubt they'll be clowns - among whoever's left after these stupid exercises - saying "hydrogen by 2140." It will still be, correctly, regarded as a dumb idea. It was a dumb idea in 1976, a dumb idea in 2000, remains a dumb idea in 2024, and will be a dumb idea in 2050, 2070, and in 2100.

The horrible physical properties, the poor thermodynamics, and difficulties in handling of hydrogen, have not, are not and will not be changed by advertising and slick videos by nonscientists or non-engineers.
