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
