So I guess that kind of scraps my whole idea of a clean, hydrogen burning
car. Ohh well.

Seems like just a really efficient battery that can be recharged with
hydrogen. So things would amount to refilling a hydrogen tank instead of a
gas tank in your car? Would this be cheaper than regular gasoline?
But how would the hydrogen be obtained? We'd still have to generate
electricity somewhere along the line to create the hydrogen that we recharge
with. Why not just use current batteries and recharge them with current
means?
I was hoping for a self contained system that only needed water to continue
running (and didn't pollute).
