I would buy it in a heart beat as my commuting car.

That is very misleading. You need electricity to seperate the hydrogen from oxygen so in essence, you are buying an electric car.

By that same logic I am driving an "electric car" now, as electricity is used to ignite the gas fumes that drive the pistons, that turn the wheels on my gas guzzling SUV.

There is a level of efficiency. Although you need electricity to break down water into its component parts, the break down of the bond between the hydrogen and oxygen will release more electricity than is used. Potentially enough to run the car and charge a battery so you can get the car started.

and once your in a wreck you wont need to worry about fuel no more either, on top of it where are you going to fill up at ? honda is getting ready to release it's new hydrogen car also, but only a few hundred and only in cali as it seem's they are the only fueling stations and are very limited

my friend's dad in the bx added that hydrogen stuff in his minivan. looks simple and easy to do. lmk if u need a number...

You are wrong on many levels. First of all, energy is used to break bonds and energy is released when they are formed. Secondly, the amount of energy you put in to break the bonds is what you get when you release them. Water is used as means for transporting hydrogen because no one has been able to store it efficiently yet. Just some chemistry for you.

I am glad to see that my ability to be wrong extends just past simple chemistry, and is able to span multiple "levels".

Fueling stations for hydrogen aren't so uncommon anymore actually.
There are 9 in NY alone. http://www.hydrogenassociation.org/g...ingResults.asp
This kinda goes back to when the first cars were rolled out, where were the gas stations back then? When people start buying them then people will build the refueling stations, then more people will buy, more stations etc.
