The history and promise of geological hydrogen for fuel

But what if we didn’t have to split hydrogen from oxygen? What if there were places like the coal mine Mendeleev studied in Ukraine with an even higher percentage of hydrogen? Like the chemical patterns revealed in Mendeleev’s dream, so-called geologic hydrogen was there all along but we weren’t looking for it, or we were looking in the wrong places.
