Hydrogen May Be Plentiful Underground

  Developing hydrogen underground that accumulates in ways comparable to oil-yet is naturally renewable, may become a solution to the energy crisis that generates greenhouse gases.

Transporting concentrated hydrogen could be difficult yet it needn't be. A national network of pipelines made to cool superconducting power lines and built deep below interstate highways could be the prime distribution network after enough quantity is located in the country. A well has been drilled in Nebraska by HyTerra that is conducting flow tests of hydrogen this month.

Perhaps it's possible to pump  water deep underground in appropriate locations to stimulate natural creation of hydrogen?  One natural process is called serpentinization (not named for the devil's winter home in hell) where "water reacts with iron-rich (very hot) rocks (deep underground) to produce hydrogen".
