Hydrogen and its derivatives could be that fuel, argues a commentary by four energy researchers in the journal Joule. However, they note, a clean US hydrogen economy will require a comprehensive strategy and a 10-year plan. The Hydrogen Earthshot is necessary to create a hydrogen economy, but it is not sufficient.
