The problem is how it is made.

If you're burning coal to transform H2O into hydrogen/oxygen, then you're not getting the benefits of hydrogen because you've burned coal.

The only way hydrogen can be justified is with nuclear/solar/wind energy.

We have to shut down the coal-based power stations. All of them. Of course, we can't do that in one go right away, we first have to get ITER to work and, concurrently, get Thorium stations installed everywhere.

Between the two, things just might work out.
