I'm not at all sure about that. Complexity. Waste. Danger.

Hydrogen may be "light", but the container ain't that at all.
>> Electric powered vehicles will always be hampered by re-charge times.
Cue Renolt and their up-coming electric battery vehicles with leased batteries - you can charge the things at home, or swap them for (a) fully charged one(s) at a garage (in 2011, apparently).
I said this in another place - imagine if all the garages open now, selling petrol, ran instead an exchange battery system - for standardised batteries. Drive in, slide out battery, slide charged one in, pay, go. Garage man plugs extracted battery in and re-charges it.
>> *IF* HM gov gets its act in gear and gets (many more) power stations built
Yes, but it's still very inefficient and complicated to use hydrogen as a fuel.
