I have a question about hydrogen. I've heard a lot about converters that can process various kinds of standard hydrocarbons (natural gas, methanol, gasoline, now diesel) into hydrogen for a fuel cell, and I thought that these converters were going to be part of the fuel cell units provided by Plug Power and other fuel cell makers, so that basically you would pour some standard fuel in and get electricity out. And yet I still read stuff from time to time about fuel cells running off hydrogen stored in tanks, or in metal hydrides, or piped from some central plant. So does anybody know the exact breakdown on what fuels the various fuel cell designs out there will run on?

I think this is pretty important because IMHO these things are not going to catch on fast if they need a pure hydrogen fuel source. Fuel cell cars need to run on gasoline, and fuel cell home generators need to run on natural gas or heating oil.
