For a household size connection sure, but once you're looking at extremely high voltages the electrical solution becomes hard. It's a totally different kind of cable and has very different problems to deal with. Meanwhile a pipe fundamentally doesn't change whether it's 1in or 48in wide.

The certainty with which you make all these obviously completely wrong statements is baffling.

Really, electricity distribution is a solved problem, and has been for more than a century. And here you are arguing that something that is in very minor use at the moment is 'easier', in spite of many challenges still be to solved before it can operate at scale. I'll just leave this link here and I would very much appreciate it if you stopped making all these assertions without qualification as though possess some kind of oracle because it is bordering on the ridiculous.

Your whole comment history is nothing but an endless stream of assertions without evidence including ones that are 'not even wrong'. That's not the level that I expect for this site and you are not doing us a service with this. I also do not understand why the only subject you are interested in is pushing the Hydrogen angle for more than it is worth.

Piping gases is also a solved problem. It existed even before electricity. I sound certain because I'm certainty right. If anything it's bit amusing to see supposedly smart people have so much trouble accepting the existence of 18-19th century technology.

FYI, coal gas is about 50% hydrogen and is two centuries old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coal_gas#Composition
