I don't know very much about hydrogen power but what I do know is the material is not a naturally occurring product. The fuel source requires processing in order to use as a fuel. The real question is can it be used in automobiles as a clean burning fuel source?
Before I answer, let me give you more information pertaining to this interesting but boring subject. According to Alternative fuels.org, "H2 has been called the "most alternative" of the alternative fuels: if it is made by electrolysis of water using electricity from a nonpolluting source like wind or solar power, then no pollutants of any kind are generated by burning it in an internal combustion engine except for trace amounts of nitrogen oxides, and if it is used in a fuel cell then even these disappear. Furthermore, no greenhouse gases are generated because there's no carbon in the fuel. All that comes out the vehicle's exhaust is drinkable water!
It looks like this could be an alternative, a virtually pollution free way of powering our cars. Yet, the fact remains it is hard to store and extremely expensive. Therefore, with that in mind I think it would behoove the American people to look for other alternatives. However, if industry could find a way to store the product and make it affordable to the consumer then yes it could work.
