I'm lost... :) What's wrong with using fuel cells? Except for the
current price and performance, I'd love to have a fuel cell car that got
it on like a 60's slot car.

It takes more energy to make the hydrogen than you get back by using it.
Except for the limited supply using hydro, wind and photo.
Assuming of course you can solve the distribution problems.
Things never discussed or addressed in the glowing press releases.

Here is an interesting article on the fuel cell and it's financing
difficulties after three years of little progress.

It's not like you can pump hydrogen out of the ground at a cost of $2 a barrel.
Also there is a nation wide zillion dollar gasoline  pipeline transportation and 
distribution system in place that took 100 years to install.
