Trillions of tons of buried hydrogen: Clean energy gold rush begins. Really!

There is a good chance that hydrogen is another swindle/scam like wind power! A transient euphoria?

What are the environmental consequences of hydrogen mining on a large scale?

How dangerous is handling the highly flammable and combustible hydrogen? Hint: Hindenburg Disaster!

"... In short, there are as many as 5.5 trillion tons of hydrogen in underground reservoirs worldwide. It may have been generated by the interaction of certain iron-rich minerals with subterranean water. In some cases, it may be fixed in with other gases such as methane, from which it would need to be separated. But it's there, in such extraordinary quantities that analysts are expecting a gold hydrogen rush at a global scale. ...
It may not be super easy to get to: "Most hydrogen is likely inaccessible," ... "But a few per cent recovery would still supply all projected demand – 500 million tonnes a year – for hundreds of years." ..."
