Doesn't liquid hydrogen have more energy per pound than avgas? Makes it ideal for airplanes that must generate the lift to carry the weight of their fuel, unlike trucks, cars
Energy per pound of raw fuel is one thing. Then there is the tankage required... What kind of tanks would be required for liquid H2, and how durable would they be?

BTW, water vapor is as much a greenhouse gas as is CO2, if not worse...
