If/when we can learn to create hydrogen with reasonable efficiency from electricity, or better
yet directly from solar photovoltaic (think APWR for a pure play here) or wind energy, we'll be
on our way to a clean source of hydrogen (the electrolysis of water) with which to power the
fuel cells to run our homes, laptops, automobiles, and cell phones.


This is my point. This is not a "new" problem. The process of fuel cells using pure H2 was know thirty years ago. The problem then was access to H2 without using more energy to obtain it than it will produce. I am missing the advantage of a fuel cell until this problem is solved.

I wonder if that power source is commercially available today.


They are using feul cells to power small generating plants today but again I am missing the benefits since H2 is required.
