    It doesn’t… I may have replaced the wrong text.

    In any case, what would you say is the best property of having more hydrogen gas in the atmosphere? Make it quick, I need to sell a few pentawatthours to world leaders.

      We can react the hydrogen with CO2 in the atmosphere to produce hydrocarbons and water. The water goes back into the electrolysis system, and the hydrocarbons can be put back underground where they belong. As a bonus it gets rid of some extra CO2!

      Capture it and use it for nuclear fusion.

      Then capture the helium produced as a byproduct and use it to build a city supported entirely by weather balloons

        Human fusion technology currently only works with heavy hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium in neutronic fusion). Fusion of normal hydrogen requires pressures and temperatures we’re unable to control at the moment.

        Aneutronic fusion is currently explored in fusing hydrogen and bor, this results in clean helium-4 and no neutron radiation, meaning it leaves no radioactive waste. But it needs temperatures FAR exceeding the core of the sun and it’s self-cooling via Bremsstrahlung, so it’s nowhere near a working technology.
