Depends where the hydrogen came from.
If we totally committed to a hydrogen powered civilisation, I think it could all come from renewable energy (even with the efficiency problem), and one step closer to a Dyson sphere.

Electricity grids around the world are getting cost effective benefits already, as do householders who have invested in them to complement solar on rooftops. Plans for complementing growth of solar and wind in Australia with new build gas are being set aside in favour of batteries - with energy companies, not government policy, driving take-up.
Indeed, I should have added a 🙄.

That is why it is in a Question form and not a statement. I mean it just asks Can we Preserve ... etc
The people that can afford it and want to live forever, use cryogenics; but even that's not future proof, the only thing we can be sure of (a universal truth), is that everything changes.
But you've yet to explain why you think it would be beneficial, what do you think can be learned from a corpse?

What's happening now, is all we can know; so you have two choice's, pray for a better tomorrow or work for it.
Waisting energy on trying to stop time, is nothing more than a prayer... 😉

Well, that is the purpose that YOU assign to life. I don't see though where life has any inherent purpose to it, and given the wide range of answers to this question, I don't think that an inherent purpose is obvious.
Of course not, it's completely subjective; but I'm content to live with that...

I should hardly think life has gotten any specific "purpose" to it . . . . . .
I think it does, the purpose of life is to live; to be content with life has a purpose.
It's up to you, to provide a purpose while you live; the purpose of death is to feed the living...

I think pride is muddying the water's here, humility-vs-arrogance is more relevant.
It's easier to see the virtue of being humble, when faced with a 'white van man'. But as Phi eluded too it's also easy to seek revenge on such people, rather than trying enlighten them to the benifit's of accepting one's limitation's; humility does not equal humiliation.
Humiliation often leads to vengeful retaliation, rather than understanding.

Earth should indeed be called " Marine" but the real rulers of this planet are microbes, they outweigh us in total mass and in numbers and viruses rule over them.
Domestos has a pretty good say in the war of the world's
It's a bitter sweet symphony...

The Creator has given us a Body and Frame which is alive until Death occurs ! That is all that is left of us in the end ! Why not preserve it rather than let it Decimate ! It is for our Progeny to Decide the Merit of the case !
Didn't the creator design life to be lived and death to furtilise or be recycled into more life?
So, in seeking to preserve the dead, you've perverted the creator's plan; such dirty language...
I understand that people are more important than a dog, and some people are more important than other people; but no-one is important enough to not fear the reaper.

Only the Living can work for the Dead and not the vice versa !
No shit Sherlock, now please explain why/how dead people's remains (even the great one's) can provide more information, than what is already understood about their lives?
And your answer can not be, because they leave their bodies to science... For obvious reason's.

Einstein hasn't stayed on a pedestal because of unthinking acceptance of his scientific contributions and adoration but as a result of continuing pursuit of science based understanding that keeps revealing how those contributions have significance.
I think the same was true of Buddha and what's also (probably) true is, those who were taught well enough to achieve enlightenment/understanding went on to add too the wisdom.
But as I said, prophet's are rare, and only they can break the convention.
Here's a thought of a friend of mine:
Quote'One day in the future it will almost certainly be understood as an effective approximation to something more fundamenta' - Such faith, the 'God of the Gaps' argument in reverse
And I think a fixed resilient language is key, as I think the prophet Muhammad recognised, in the way the he sought to freeze the language of the Quran.

A large enough solar farm would negate both and not significantly impinge on our ability to farm food.
