verda?
It isn't. Hydrogen is certainly present, but its mostly bound up in
hydrocarbons.

Let alone the fact that the process of obtaining pure hydrogen for the
fuel cell input is very energy intensive. The problem is that free
hydrogen is so reactive that it doesn't generally exist in nture, so
you have to get it by using energy to break up a stable molecule, and
the energy required to do that is generally greater than that produced
by oxidizing he hydrogen (making a stable molecule again).
