Hydrogen is a storage medium. It's fundamentally different than natural gas. Think of it more like a more complex, expensive, and inefficient battery; with the only advantage being that you can store more energy per unit volume at large scales.

Of course. But the point was that it could also be burned in these turbines, and is also storable underground like methane.
