Well yes. Electron flow IS electricity. But by use of photons we can also pop H from O2. We have set up a few fairly complex solar electrolyzers. But from everything we have read about them, and from all of our experiences, they are too slow to be commercially viable. Even if we could cut the time in half it seems that the consumption of Hydorgen would overrun supply in a heartbeat. What we are trying to produce is an electrolyzer that can produce H very rapidly, and we are using some really novel ideas to accomplish some of it. But it is still too slow at the moment. Some guys have claimed to have come up with some technique to get the job done. Last I checked, still too slow.
