Scaled up to handle the transportation sector, it will result in greater relative humidity in cities, leading to higher heat indexes, probable problems from black mold, possibly wet pavements, and in the Winter, rime ice everywhere. This hasn’t been thought through.

Would you care to elaborate rather than just assert?

Yes, no doubt, but “advanced” equals “expensive”, which means the whole sector is unviable.

There are advanced storage methods now.

Even if that can be scaled to the necessary size, which it won’t, it still doesn’t solve the biggest problem, which is storage. Hydrogen is notoriously difficult to store and keep.
