It still is going to take more energy to create the hydrogen, even with the CO component, than you'll ever get out of it.

WHat the fuel cell they're talking about does, is convert hydrocarbons like gasoline/propane/whatever directly into electricity, instead of burning it in an engine's pistons.

Fuel cells promise to be be less polluting, and may turn out to be more fuel efficient

My hubby is extremely interested in this. He has tons of knowledge regarding this, but, he doesn't post. He finally got an account after 6 years of lurking tho. So, if he posts on this thread, be gentle....

That's not correct. It doesn't convert into electricity at all.
