Windmills generate electricity, excess is used to split water and hydrogen, hydrogen is stored for wind lull. The bigger the better. Liquid Natural Gas will be much easier for aircraft (particularly ones that operate between terminals) and now is extremely inexpensive. | |

This frees them from the Carnot efficiency limit. Even in hydrogen cars, the weight penalty of a fuel cell plus electric motor is so small that the efficiency gains are worth it. In aviation, fuels cells would still mean you can have a smaller, lighter hydrogen tank, but the weight remains problematic either way. | |
