There are a number of companies running around at the moment with hydrogen 'alternative' fuel vehicles. I have seen a number of different variations, but it seems the majority involve a cylinder of compressed hydrogen and a cylinder of compressed oxygen being carried in the same vehicle.
What happens if one of these vehicles ends up in a smash? Anyone care to take a guess at what compressed H2 and compressed O2 can make? Ask NASA or your local friendly terrorists? One flash and you're a[censored]
It seems to me, that although eco-friendly, many of these devices are just bombs on wheels driving around in the local streets. Maybe someone in the industry would like to make comment about how they have designed their vehicles to prevent such events?
Anyone remember the Hindenberg?

That was one crazy rave party - Oh, the humanity... :)
Another issue often overlooked is the suspension of belief in elementary physics, such as the second law of thermodynamics.
It takes more energy to split H2O than whatever energy can be recovered by recombining Hydrogen & Oxygen.
