My understanding is that some company (I can look it up if anyone wants to
know)
has H2 generation plants at about $100K each, about the size of a medium
truck
trailer, that will be co-located with your existing local gas station.  IIRC
they
use natural gas as the H2 and energy source.

Thanks,
Jim W.

This is getting worse than the "smog free" electric cars. Electric cars 
export
their smog to some old coal or other fossil fuel power plant, in most of the
US. Power plants are efficient but, what is the net efficiency after 
transmission
and conversion losses. (AC -> DC -> chemical (charge) -> chemical 
(discharge) ->
DC->  controlled DC-> wheel.
