And whence the power to crack that hydrogen in the first place?

Hydrogen is a kind-of-crappy way to store energy and transport it from place to place. It is not a source.

Best explanation of use and distribution-here.
driveclean.ca.gov

Could have made on heck of a lot of H from Porter ranch had it not escaped because of a fracking oil well. Any renewable energy can make hydrogen, same as it makes electricity to put in a rare earth laden battery. A battery with awful prospects for recycling/scrap.

Solar etc might be better utilized via H than the grid system and batteries.
