Unlike other gases, hydrogen's size actually makes it particularly hard to add an odor for safety. There has to be regulations concerning this. I would just go with solar/wind generators and run a converted electric car off of that power. Now that is a really smart way to go because the government may help you depending where you are. Hmmm... This topic also reminded me of another technology that I find really weird. People are now developing cars that depend on compressed air to run.

Depending on how much my cells would use I could actually create the Hydrogen from a tank of water in the car or even create it at home. The cell I am looking at getting from a company in Canada will actually pull hydrogen out of natural gas. A tank of I believe a liter of Hydrogen will last approximately 2 hours on a 1000 watt cell. I have been searching for cells and I am also looking into building my own. Just need to get the materials, I have the devices and instructions.
I am also looking at wind generators for power for my house. My dad bought one and we have yet to install it on their house. Probably this summer. It'll probably save us $30 a month or so.
