"hydrogen as if it were a source of energy"

Very true... unless there is a source ( readily available in the earth ) of pure Hydrogen... Hydrogen is an energy carrier ( sort of like a bulky battery ), not a source.

BTW, when antimatter contacts matter, the resulting reaction would be net no energy ( given the energy required to make the antimatter hydrogen )? or even negative. Correct?
