It would be good to move this along...
Apparently hydrogen fuel-cell cars are already in production and out on the road. The main thing slowing down their introduction is the lack of availability of hydrogen fuel stations.

There's even a prototype "home energy station" (for refuelling at home) in Australia somewhere. I've sent Honda Australia an enquiry about the availability of the Clarity and the home energy stations in Australia.
In WA (and several other cities in the world) there was a pilot run of hydrogen fuel-cell-based buses. It ran for 3 years and was very successful. Their conclusion was that the infrastructure required for getting the hydrogen was too costly at the moment.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Australian government put money into this infrastructure instead of handing it over to a car manufacturer to build old-style cars.
Provide the hydrogen stations and the buses and cars will come. If we can speed up the use of this technology it should help put a big dent in greenhouse gas emissions.
