Thanks Tim for your explanation. I had figured something similar, but could not put the words to it. You did it for me.
Hydrogen is another quote-unquote "battery". One needs an external energy source to "charge" it. If that energy source comes from oil, then nothing has really been gained, from an energy independence and CO2-reducing perspective.
