A CNN article - 'Hydrogen is the fuel of the future'
It requires exactly as much energy to create hydrogen as you get out of it; therefore it's not a fuel - it's a battery. It's just a clever way to hold the power until you want to use it.
Now, if you use wind and/or solar power to run the separation system for the hydrogen, then you've got an alternative energy system going on. But that doesn't seem to be at all what they're talking about. How they're going to create the hydrogen isn't discussed in these little articles.
