Easy on the gas, part III

A couple of days ago I mentioned the Hindenburg problem with hydrogen fuel cells.  It was really just a throw-away comment, a concern about using hydrogen as a fuel source but not one about which I have done any research. 

Tonight we watched Quantum of Solace, the most recent James Bond movie.  Its vision of hydrogen fuel cells isn't so cheery, either. A quick search on the Google pulled up this article, which does a good job explaining the science (and lack of it) in the Bond movie, as well as confirming my skepticism for the whole hydrogen venture.
