'White hydrogen' could help save the world. Scientists just found one of the largest deposits

We'll continue to use fossil fuels as the world burns.

It seems to me this is a geological curiosity of extremely limited potential.

I'd probably compare it to various small hot springs found around the world. There's often enough energy in those hot springs to be useful locally but all the small hot springs in the world combined will never power a civilization of eight billion humans.

For example, the geothermal heating district of Boise Idaho:

So, if you drill a hole and hit hydrogen, wonderful. But that hydrogen isn't going to save the world, any more than finding a penny will pay a $100,000 medical bill.
