I am not knowledgeable enough to discuss the technical aspects. However, it is quite clear that there is a long long way to go. It is also clear that there are many companies working on the various technologies needed to make it viable. This makes me question why the government needs to be working on it at all (as opposed to a tax incentive and procurement approach). For evidence of the distance to go, you need look no further than the stock prices. (One might look for a bounce in BLDP and FCEL soon, but stay small with tight stop, imo, HYGS a long shot for high risk capital, PLUG looks lower to me) An interesting point you make regarding the BMW, It would not work at all here in Pittsburgh, you would not be allowed in the tunnels. This is a site I used when doing some DD last year on this stuff: h2fc.com From the site: Transition to a hydrogen economy will require development of an H2 infrastructure. Storage technologies, electrolysis, H2 fueling stations, fuel cell vehicles, reliable H2 sensors and more are all being actively developed by many entities. Hydrogen is definitely the most promising in the alternative fuels. It is also very far away, which leaves it vulnerable to other technological innovations and discoveries, as well as the price competitiveness of petroleum.
