tarts or farts?
If you can reform the methane into hydrogen for the fuel cell it would work,
but why not just use an internal combustion engine retrofitted for CNG.
I am guessing that electricity to hydrogen back to electricity is cycle they
are trying to promote here.
Personally I prefer solar to electricity to an electric car, by passing the
whole hydrogen thing. Not sure storing energy in hydrogen is all the
beneficial of the hydrogen was originally derived from coal and natural gas.
Now if it was nuclear – electricity – hydrogen – electricity, then we are
cookin’ with gas.

Why not just run the motor home off of methane? There are lots of old darts
driving them right?

That is already a big issue in CA. There are no simple solutions to this
dilemma. There is no question that electric cars use the roads. The fact
that they escape paying for the roads is problem we're going to have to
solve some way.
