But, our friends in South Korea use Methanol and not Natural gas as the feedstock for the hydrogen. Some other arguments against Fool Cells are 50% extra losses in processing the hydrogen, $ price of the Fool Cells is about the same as the remainder of the car, raising the car cost by 100%. If using electricity to make the hydrogen from water it wastes half the energy. And the range of the cars, with present sized fuel tanks, is only 100 miles. So there no advantage and you cannot recharge them at home.
