"Under the Bush administration's proposal (for hydrogen fuel cells), the hydrogen primarily comes from nuclear and coal-fired power plants, which would make it really dirty energy. Now if he's proposing solar-powered hydrogen electricity, we'd be very supportive of that. We'd like to see him answer that question."
This, except for the second sentence, is one of the few accurate things to come from the Sierra Club. The fact is that, unless the law of conservation of energy is repealed, hydrogen will always require more energy to produce than it will provide. Hence, the likely outcome of going to hydrogen powered vehicles will be more emissions than there are now; they'll just be moved from the cars to the power plants.
