Does anyone know whether existing natural gas lines in the ground to homes could be used for hydrogen?

Good site to convert energy stuff: infinitepower.com Looks like 1 therm = approx 100cf of natural gas. Water heater needs 1/2 therm per day Electrical needs 20kw per day. To produce 20kw per day would need approx. 2 therms per day. If I use natural gas and a fuel cell, I would use approx. 2.5 therms per day for water heater and electrical at about 50% efficiency for fuel cell. Pretty rough, but I think within the ball park. Interesting issue: My rate for therms increases substantially above 18 therms per month, like from $.58 per therm to $.78 per therm. This is such a drastic increase that it might kill the advantage of the fuel cell. Bill
