The environmentally detrimental effects of hydrogen production either from fossil fuel electricity generation for electrolysis or the dependancy on natural gas as a source for hydrogen extraction is the biggest red herring and FUD against the hydrogen movement.

Solar power is uniquely suited for hydrogen electrolysis from water based on Faradays 1st law of Electrochemistry, in that the low voltage direct output of solar panels is just as effective a means of hydrogen seperation as the end product of a wasteful inversion process to full AC. Thus it is more effective, as it obviates the need for this extraneous step.

Innovation and advances in the field are enormous, considering how underfunded hydrogen and fuel cells are in a country that is perched on a cliff of energy disaster and economic ruin. Sometimes its hard to decide between conspiracy and utter stupidity.
