Back in the 70s (that was 40 years ago, the same physical laws applied
then, and economic laws and human behavior factors as well) there was a
lot of work done on The Hydrogen Economy because we were all going to
freeze and starve in the cold dark, and hydrogen (made from nuke
electricity, too cheap to meter) was somehow going to make that all
better. The numbers just did not work out (those pesky numbers!) even
with various gummint machinations (imagine that!). Liquid petrol is
pretty easy, stable stuff to deal with (based on like 100 years of
anecdotal reality), not so cryogenic, high-pressure, leaky, low
energy/volume hydrogen.
It is still a fun idea though, just basically not particularly workable.
Sorry.

I was quite skeptical about H2 until I visited NREL last summer and saw a
hydrogen fuel celled vehicle first hand . I first saw one being driven by
the local MBCA section president Bill Hopper. It was a Mercedes H2 fuel
cell powered vehicle that was beyond cool. Now I am beginning to think
they may eventually become a practical alternative.
Watch the video.
