So, i read this article - **broken link removed**
In it they say they use solar power and "green" electricty to generate the hydrogen. when the sun isn't shining enough (or at all), they basically use power from the grid. so, why is this such a huge step forward? my guess is that it probably doesn't even break even. they refuse to put a kw hr cost on it in the article.
It seems to me that the use of hydrogen as an energy storage medium is a positive thing but the article just seems a bit breathless over a small step.
