[quote=MisterMe;1488978]They have this stuff called water. Perhaps, you've heard of it?

The energy needed to strip hydrogen molecules from water is much greater than that needed to drive the same distance using a battery. No one is saying that hydrogen can not be made to work - but why would we want to use hydrogen in view of the fact that it will take over ten years and billions of dollars to implement the needed infrastructure and it requires more energy input than a battery?
