When converting water to hydrogen with electrolysis you lose 90% of the electricity you put in.
I think the first statement implies it takes 45KWhrs of energy to _make_ 1 gallon of liquid hydrogen. That 1 gallon of hydrogen contains 4.5KWhrs of energy. With 10 gallons you could have the 45KWhrs which should take you 150 miles. 150 miles sounds right for the range limit of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

Coast to coast AM. Subject:Hydrogen Well I found out that it takes 45KW to make one gallon of Hydrogen. I challenged the guest to compare electric to internal combustion hydrogen. I think he is a paid lobby for the car companies. So it would take 45Kw to run an internal combustion hydrogen car 25 to 35 miles. Wouldn't 45kw take the average conversion about 100 miles. If you were using a fuel cell would a gallon of hydrogen make 45kw to run your electric car? Can't seem to find anything in the archieves about how far a kw takes you. Lawrence Rhodes....
