Hydrogen Powered Cars

Theres a little problem here... where do you get the hydrogen from without expending huge amounts of energy to get it? You can separate hydrogen out of water (using an electric current). You can gather it from the atmosphere... except it rises to the top (hydrogen is the lightest element isn't it?). You get my point...

If "they" use a relatively clean fuel to generate power to gather hydrogen, then its a good start. At the moment nuclear power would be the only real option. I dunno if electric cars would be more efficient or not (as in get electricity from the bowser direct from the power grid, not hydrogen fuel cells).
