This all makes no sense at all. At the moment we are far away from that, but if we ever may find a way to produce hydrogen more efficiently, I doubt that we want to store masses of them in every single house.

"But here’s the other problem I have with Horizon’s vision: you still need electricity and water in order to generate hydrogen." yes, which is what the solar panel is for. as for the water, well that's a different issue, but where else were you expecting to get the hydrogen? methane? propane? some other hydrocarbon? water's the cleanest and most abundant source, and the hydrogen just reverts back to water when it's run through the fuel-cell. in my system idea up above, you could potentially reuse the waste water over again as the hydrogen source. why they haven’t thought of this, I don’t know, but potentially, with a system large enough, you could use this in place of a solar/wind/battery system. you’d use solar/wind power during the day, which would also refill the hydrogen tanks, and at night, run off the fuel-cells.
