Does anyone know otherwise? So to create Hydrogen we need... 1) Electricity to purify water. 2) Electricity to extract Hydrogen. 3) A system to transport Hydrogen. 4) Gas stations to sell Hydrogen. 5) Larger Storage tanks on cars. Oh yes... explosion proof infant seats.

That is one more step, now only 15,467 more steps to go. How far away is a practical fuel cell car? Now how far away is a practical all electric car? And if you can build an all electric vehicle that recharges quickly and has a 300 mile range then why would a fuel cell car every replace it??? Fuel cells may have a place but I doubt it will be in transportation. Woohoo. That is one more step, now only 15,467 more steps to go.
