Thanks for the comment. My note was in response to another member of the group. I was passing on an article from USA Today. See below:
The Natural Gas "bridge" to a hydrogen powered car may need to be longer than we think. That is to say that CNG may be a more important than just a short term bridge!
The Friday 9-8-08 issue of USA Today reviewed Honda's FCX Clarity and discussed the Fuel Cell/Hydrogen issue.
Some very interesting facts:
1- There will be only 200 built over the next 3 years.
2- They will be leased to Americans as a second car for $600/mo.
3- The fuel cell will not be able to produce enough power so a back up pre-charged battery is necessary.
4- The car will cost Honda over $200,000 each to build.
5- The car will not be equipped with any unnecessary electrical consuming features.
6- Their tank holds 4.1 kg (9 LBS) of hydrogen compressed to 5,000 PSI.
7- Honda will sell a home-fill unit that will make and compress hydrogen for their car.
Now here is the twist (head fake), you will have to have NG at your home. The unit they sell will make 95% of the hydrogen fuel from NATURAL GAS!
Cause you see the only current economical way to make Hydrogen is by burning/using Natural Gas!
We are a very long way from economically using electricity to make hydrogen from water!
Perhaps when those wind generators have an abundance of power they can lend a hand?

So my question ( one engineer to another) to you is:
Are you familiar with any current economical way to produce hydrogen gas and compress it to 5,000 PSI?
Take care,
Captain Ron
Just wanted to take a second of your time to invite you to view the solar solution equivalent of the PickensPlan.
