Electrolysis has thermodynamic limits to efficiency, but making H2 and O2
are a good way to store, large scale, renewable energy for which no other
means are as environmentally sound.
We don't want to dam up any water courses if that is possible, so more pump
storage is to be avoided. It would be

The only other argument I can see would be the efficiency of the overall
system, including generating hydrogen. The
