I think the real propeller heads envision solar pannels on each roof converting water into H &O2. The problems there are the amount you could make at home would get you to the cornner maybe in 12hrs. Another problem seems to me would be O2 poisoning the atmosphere. If everyone did this there would be too much O2 released into the air. I fear O2 poisoning and fires that couldn't be extinguished. Fires would be the only way to burn up the extra O2 to save whats left of the planet. Fire= CO2? Wasn't that the first problem?

No, the proliferation of termites would be unbearable. Currently nature maintains the oxygen content of the air with methane (termite farts).

I hate to make you look stupid, but for every molecule of oxygen released in the production of hydrogen, there will be one consumed when the hydrogen is burnt. Thus, unless you are planning to store gargantuan tanks of hydrogen, you won't be seeing any appreciable increase in atmospheric oxygen.
