Uhh no.
The main thing preventing hydrogen cars from rising is the energy intensity of transporting hydrogen fuel.
Planes can't fly using hydrogen fueld engines because they can't carry enough.
With a tanker, IIRC you can't really have a tanker travel more than 180km before it consumes more fuels than it carries. The only thing would be a nationwide series of pipes to reticulate hydrogen to everywhere it is needed.
So it can be said that hydrogen works well in a high population density environment, but for someplaces like the U.S and Australia, it's not a workable solution. But regarding the former, the obvious start would be Japan, but they'd be funding an orphan item if they went solo.
The next would be Europe, and then you think that would be enough. The fact that they haven't, to me, says that even Europe doesn't have enough population density to make it worthwhile.
