"Let’s note a few points here. Hydrogen is the energy in gas oil and coal. So we have quite a lot at the moment, all we need to do is change the way we refine it. And in so doing, we can contain the carbon, sulfur and other impurities."

Except those are useful for other things. Much easier to use seawater. It's plentiful, it has lots of hydrogen, and the techniques needed to seperate the hydrogen are easily done. (this is also why fusion is an attractive energy source)
