As far as I can see... this is something they are doing NOW.
Read the link.. they can use Solar to charge their tanks.

That doesn't mean it's practical, does it? They don't mention how long it takes for an average sized solar panel to create enough energy to create that much hydrogen. You can bet your ass it's not just a few hours.
I mentioned this in another post today. Right now, using hydrogen has no real environmental benefit. On small scale stuff, where you can get 100% power from solar, wind, or hydro energy, then yes, that's great. But not for something like a car, because inevitably, the energy is initially coming from oil, coal, etc. It's a false sense of environmental niceness.
The whole fucking energy production sector must change. But it's great that people are doing the research now so it's all ready to go eventually.
I haven't read much on that site. I think that quote about the hydrogen not being explosive is a little fucking stange. How does it combust, if it's not volatile?
