Hello ,
hydrogen IS the current darling for a renewable energy source,
but there are multiple problems, the biggest being that it is
an energy "neutral" solution. that is it takes as much energy
to MAKE hydrogen, (that is extract it in its pure form from
either the water or the air) as you get in return when you use
it. the problem then being, where you get the energy to begin
with! some push for electric cars as being non polluting, but
again the energy to power them has to come from somewhere, and
most (around 80% if i recall correctly) come from oil fired
electrical power houses, so we would be merely moving the
pollution and energy comsumption from the tailpipe to the power
plant. that and the fact that anytime you convert energy from
one form to another you suffer LOSS. that's why Chrylser is
working so hard on fuel cell technology that uses gasoline
instead of hydrogen. ... hmmmmmmm
