It would be moved by pipeline as a compressed gas, not as LH2. The US already has > 1000 miles of H2 pipelines.

All between co-located industrial generators and consumers. H2 pipelines are DOA due to the absurd compression costs.

A BTU of hydrogen requires more energy to compress to a given pressure than a BTU of natural gas, but hydrogen also has lower viscosity, so less recompression is needed. The point you raise does not rule out hydrogen pipelines.
