Even it can be made from water, it takes a significant amount of Electricity to produce it (or to recharge those wonderful Government Motors Electric cars), and hows that generated?? Coal or Nuclear or Hydroelectric for the most part with Hydroelectric the cleanest.
To avoid logistics and transportation, couldn't the "Filling Stations" each be self contained and all produce their own Hydrogen (from water and electricity) ??? Is that logistically and economically feasible??? IM ASKING, I DONT KNOW, CAN ANY EXPERTS ANSWER THAT PLEASE????
If I were younger and starting all over so the payback has more years to run, Id definitely build a smart energy efficient super insulated passive solar heated (maybe some geo thermal backup) and solar electric partial earth sheltered home THATS THE FUTURE FOR SURE
While on the subject, some years we may spend up to 5 months in our RV and all those month we want for nothing, lack nothing, and are perfectly happy and content WITH FAR LESS "STUFF" THEN WE HAVE AT HOME. As far as energy use, we can dry camp with no hook ups for up to a week +. That's possible due in part to 200 Watt Solar Panels on the Roof,,,,,,,,460 Amp Hrs of battery energy storage (4 Golf cart True Deep Cycle Batteries),,,,,,,,,,110 Gallons of Fresh water Storage Capacity,,,,,,,,,,If needed an Onan 4 KW backup AC Genset. Often camping at Natl Forest or Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) Campgrounds for sometimes free or at minimal cost (hey I paid taxes all my life). Also I have installed LED light fixtures which save even more RV energy. Sure the RV uses more gas then if we were in our car, but no hotels each night and no 3 times a day restaurants either and we dont drive 24/7, maybe to Florida or Colorado or Utah and then we may sit 1 to 3 or more months and not use much gas then.
Hey I like to save energy and trees (AND MY MONEY MOSTLY) as much as the next guy and maybe Hydrogen powered cars are a good way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once the infrastructure and delivery and vehicles are all in place
As an engineer I like these fun energy discussion so no fighting please

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulic Basics - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In the last entry to this series we gave a brief overview of hydraulic system theory, its basic components and how it works. Now lets take a look at some general maintenance tips that will keep our system operating to its fullest potential. The two biggest enemies to a hydraulic system are dirt and water. Dirt can score the insides of cylinders, spool valves and pumps. Wate
