I'd like to know more about the Honda Civic hydrogen-powered cars used in Los Angeles.
Let's see somebody mod one of those!
New Mexico (my state) is trying to get in the forefront of hydrogen technology, specifically by designing fuel cells. That's what the smart guys at Los Alamos National Laboratory are working on.
The biggest problem for hydrogen is that the molecule is tiny, so that it will seep out of any container you put it in. Fortunately, it disperses quickly, so that a leaky cell probably won't blow up your garage like a leaky gas tank.
The other problem is; where do you get it? There's no pools of it laying about, and no drilling you can do to get it. You have to make it, that is, break down something else like water, and get the hydro.
Then you're back to storage.
Anyway, making the hydrogen ends up being expensive...and requires energy.
Also, the oil and gas guys are fighting it tooth and nail.
