For example, exhaust from a power plant near specific parts of the ocean could be compressed using the waters pressure at over 90% due to the temperature loss and gain.
Now do you see why I don't really support hydrogen?

Your compressed air car is not my 80,000 lb truck or my 200 passenger plane. It is not my 1000 hp tug. I am not arguing the use of hydrogen in every niche as being the best solution. But, if I can take nuclear energy and store it as a hydrocarbon I can power loads too heavy for batteries alone to move any great distance.
Now you see why I don't support a singular solution? Care to race me to Las Vegas in your compressed air car?
