Hydrogen isn't really a new energy source, it's simply a means of storing energy. Think of it like a battery, it stores energy until you are ready to use it. We have to separate hydrogen from something else before we can use it. that process requires energy.

The common thing to do is to use electricity to separate the hydrogen atoms from the oxygen atoms in water. This requires a lot of electricity to do and it usually comes from coal-fired power plants. We don't want to do it that way!

A better solution is to use renewable energy to produce the electricity to separate hydrogen. This is a very good fit for wind power because sometimes the wind is strong and produces a lot more electricity when it's not needed, then it should be used to produce hydrogen.
