Hydrogen is the transport (of energy) mechanism.
Yes you must seperate the water initially by some means but that
as stated below can be many things. It will require a new infrastructure
to create and distribute it. We are MUCH better off with hydrogen than
with batteries! I personally only want ONE change from the present
system and that is to hydrogen, NOT batteries!
Required HMV content: BMW has developed a gasoline based engine
that can burn hydrogen. This is potentially great news for us HMV owners
with gasoline engines .
