Why would I want to borrow a trailer when I have a truck?

I never said get rid of the stop lights, read again

Sigh... I guess you didn't read my post. Yes there's Hydrogen in water, but it is not the only source.
Allow me to school you on SCIENCE 101. Hydrogen powered cars convert Hydrogen into electriciy with something called a Fuel Cell. At first it seems like a GREAT idea because (Hey! It's electric!) and Hey Hey! It produces zero emissions except for WATER (Yes, Water comes out of the tail pipe in a Hydrogen powered car) and heat.
The Hydrogen fuel to power your car can come from water, and it can also come from Natural gas. A process called steam reformation can be used to separate the hydrogen in the gas from the carbon and is the most common way to get Hydrogen. If the point of using Hydrogen in cars is to save the earth, getting it from Natural gas is the worst possible way to do it because surprise - it ads CO2 and other crap to the atmosphere.
By the time Hydrogen is put into your tank the cost to you is almost the same as regular gas too, not including the cost of the carbon footprint.
Besides that, the cost is high. You need the cars to run on them, and you need the infrastructure to fuel them as I said earlier. The cars are very expensive - over $100,000 right now. Then there's the storage of Hydrogen. Did you know that Hydrogen expands when it gets warm? To make sure the thanks don't explode, Hydrogen powered cars have to vent some gas to reduce the pressure if the car is parked in the sun for too long. Leave your car out for a few days, and the tank will be empty.
So really, really? Tell me fucking why you think Hydrogen is a better solution than plug-in electric. Come fucking on...

So wait, you are telling me there is a bad way to produce it and a good way to produce it and you are telling me we are stuck with the bad way?
Come on, earlier you told me you could make it. Yes it has challenges, but so does everything else. If you used electricity to make hydrogen from clean energy, then stored it for use. Yes it expands, so does gasoline, you knew that didn't you?
They have working models of cars that are not tethered to electric plugs that don't need a battery that have a range of over 200 miles that are cleaner than anything else on the road and you think it's not worth the time to look at?

Just keep on polluting your world and choking the children. Just keep your head in the sand and dismissing all forms of real progress so you can live forever in the "good old days". Be happy my friend, be happy.

Wait, I bring up a car that has zero emission and somehow your twisted mind thinks I want to pollute the world, get a fucking grip!
Just because I think Obama is a shit for a president, don't think you know how I vote. I'm not republican. Under Obama the cost of gas has skyrocketed. But you want to blame the republicans for that? Pull your head out of your ass!
