My point being it requires energy to perform electrolysis. Hydrogen hype doesn't create that energy. When the hydrogen and oxygen are recombined that energy is released for use.

There are theoretical economies of scale in the production of hydrogen. Using fossil fuels to generate electricity to perform electrolysis to produce hydrogen for running vehicles over the direct use of that fossil fuel in vehicles MAY produce savings. The cost of new infrastructure also needs to be factored in. Like I said, no panacea.

No said it would be easy, my favourite car is my 63 vette, she ROARS when she runs but she drinks more gas then my wallet can take in the long run.
I'll still use her in the future, but I'd like to know that we continue to evolve and search for new sciences.
Hydrogen was also the source for the apollo's right?
