AFAIK the most common source of hydrogen right now is natural gas. I don't
know what the process is, does it use electric power as well?
Until we start electrolizing water with relatively clean electricity (ie.
solar/wind/tide/water power) H2 powered cars really aren't that clean. Not
to mention that producing solar cells and windmills probably polutes quite a
bit as well.
Complicated.
