The ubiquitous element-- Hydrogen

I was watching last week's episode of EVTV which I have become quite the fan of. But in the prelude to their show they discussed aspects of hydrogen and compressed natural gas, something which they quantified as unattainable. In fact, to build the infrastructure necessary to handle hydrogen it is something like a $3 trillion dollar price tag.

But what got me was something I never even thought of-- Hydrogen really is the ubiquitous thing in this world. Almost every single thing we have to date is hydrocarbon in nature. Did you realize that a gallon of pure hydrogen could fill a con-ex or so. If it was not a simple reaction that produced whatever it is that you want to use, never fear, because billions of years of evolution and nuclear fission makes it possible. But on a lighter note everything used up to iron on the periodic chart was created by nuclear fission whereas anything heavier than iron required a massive amount of energy, and thus it required nuclear fusion!
