We hear this bull regularly, and still the world is burning. Like electrolysis, it is not economically viable to recover any geological hydrogen that may have formed from reforming from geological heat.

If it were a real resource, which it isn't, it is depletable, and is the case with the fossil fuels that the hydrogen promotion is here and elsewhere to greenwash, using it up would be unconscionable.
