This is partly because hydrogen production is energy inefficient and––when derived from fossil fuels––still a significant source of carbon emissions. Green hydrogen––produced with renewable electricity and water––is often described as a tool for decarbonizing the challenging last 10% of greenhouse gas emissions.

One way of getting a handle on the amount of harm, though, is to assume that if Bush had kept his promise, emissions during his presidency would have declined as much as they did under his successor Obama. Some of those changes, like cheaper natural gas due to greater use of fracking, helped emissions decline under Obama.
