And, please, tell me how you are going to produce hydrogen in sufficient
purity and quantity to run a relatively low-efficiency device like a
fuel cell? AND ensure that there is no pollution in the process? The
much-vaunted fuel cell for, e.g., large-scale car use can never be. It
is being developed purely as a magnet for governmental funding.

If you wish to discuss this in more detail, I propose we shift the
debate to the EnviroNet.

I never proposed mixing the H2 and O2 to produce BANG. There are a
number of ways of non-explosively combining the two gases safely, the
simplest being a straightforward hydrogen flame.
