It seems to be a common misconception that hydrogen is a fuel source and thus can replace gasoline. It's not. It's a fuel storage medium, i.e. a battery. Even if all the cars out on the roads were magically converted to running on hydrogen, we would still have to solve the problem of generating enough electricity to produce hydrogen. Then of course there's the fun problem of distributing it. Hydrogen has a lot of things going for it, although I'm not completely convinced yet, but don't think it's going to be a simple panacea.
