I would love to know where you got the ice cream analogy from. Maybe potentially funny, until we notice It doesn't compare much with converting Joules from the sun to hydrogen as far as I can see :)
What you maybe haven't realised yet, is that a world powered by electric from distributed solar, without hydrogen backup, will require theoretically impossible amounts of battery storage materials to be extracted from Earth.
Even trying to get anywhere close to that amount of Lithium or similar materials extraction will result in untold misery and damage, much more than is already happening. I guess you know mines in places like the Congo are already employing kids down to five years old in mines. I bet they never tasted ice cream.
Batteries and electric propulsion also will not propel aeroplanes for any distance or speed, definitely not spacecraft.
It also requires a relatively long time to recharge any vehicle, unless multiple batteries might be made to swap around vehicles, requiring yet more Extraction of materials.
So we need fuels, one way or another, for transportation.
Consider also there are pending both food and water shortages, as things stand.
Hydrogen used in all transportation has an intrinsic side effect of filtrating and transporting drinking quality water, between all communities needing it or not needing it.
Further, hydrogen is the input energy component used in the process of "Solein" type food creation.
Solein, is a food which can and most likely will be used to relieve conventional food chains, allowing those to recover from the onslaught of human efforts to withdraw all our food requirements from them.
If you think things won't get "bad enough" for us to resort to that, look again, aren't there increasing amounts of things missing from the shelves in your local supermarket? This can only get worse, until we start to value solar energy correctly, by monetising it.
Notice that that generation of hydrogen, which is even more valuable than any fuel we ever used from fossils, since it causes no pollution, and powers both electric and ICEv vehicles, even spacecraft, and has the side effects on food and water that I mentioned, whilst removing all toxic battery requirements, is physical proof that energy received for free is something valuable, that needs to be monetised, Joule by Joule, like money as debt currently monetises only Joules by extraction, and this whole thing becomes a no-brainer.
Are you seriously still trying to devalue the value of hydrogen, knowing all this?
