But having read the article regarding the making of hydrogen and the enormous difficulties in its storage, prior to its use at filling points and subsequently in the car itself, I wonder whether the videos that I have seen on Youtube, in which various mechanics in the USA have built quite simple, but apparently successful systems using hydrogen as a fuel, in which the production of the gas is made adjacent to its point of combustion. Have I been hoodwinked or is there a sensible answer to this?. Answers would be appreciated. Forgive me if I appear to be somewhat naive in making this point.

Also transportation and storage already exist in this form.

In order to generate the electricity for the electrolysis process , a nuclear reactor is required. Breeder reactors could supply enough fuel for over 5000 years, perhaps more. Solar, wind and other "renewable" sources will be helpful but cannot supply the base load power required. Fortunately, Australia has 40 % of the World's resources in Uranium.

I hope so. But, it's over my head; so I'll have to let you who work in the energy field, do your own homework. Have you guys seen THIS???

Dr. Gerald Shafflander, the late Harvard professor, in the 1980's established an Arizona corporation to produce hydrogen fuel, cheap. Congress sidelined him with legal challenges, and he died a broken man in the 1990's. His son-in-law, the last Rothschild, Eddie, works in Washington DC as a citizen-advocate for "governance by consent and NOT FIAT." Eddie was one of Gerry's production managers, and knows the whole process. Somebody ought to get in contact with him; and start over.
