I doubt building hundreds of kilometers of leak proof pipeline, for the smallest atom in existence (no less than that) would be that cheap. If you have data on that you are welcome to post them.

On the other hand we already got a pretty robust infrastructure for electricity transport (except maybe for Texas, but that's another whole story), and adding more isn't that hard. Take some copper or anything conductive, make a cable out of it, install on a pylon or underground, and you are set.

Hydrogen pipeline are cheaper than wires and they don't leak either. You are just repeating marketing BS from competing industries. Hydrogen molecules aren't even the smallest. Helium is the smallest since it is a nobel gas and not a diatom.

Pipelines are made of steel. They are much cheaper than copper wires. In reality, your idea is much more expensive from an infrastructure point of view.
