I seem to recall a scientist stating that hydrogen power is indeed

The drawback is that it takes more hydrocarbon energy to extract and

How does splitting water to produce hydrogen using solar, wind, wave, nuclear or biomass to generate the electricity to do it use more hydrocarbon energy than the hydrogen can deliver?
