Just where do you think that we will get the hydrogen ? From petroleum ? Or nuclear ?
The engine modification is relatively easy compared to that.

The article says from your electric current (whatever that is - nuke or petroleum or coal etc.) or solar panels
" Just where do you think that we will get the hydrogen ? From petroleum ? Or nuclear ?"
I was thinking we could get the electricity from: Petroleum, nuclear, hydro (dams), coal, ethanol, solar, wind, or anything else you can think of. The problem isn’t where the energy to produce hydrogen will come from – it’s whether the government will allow us to quit using oil: The taxes oil generates cannot be taken out of the system without Washington D.C. going bankrupt.
The benefit of United Nuclear’s system is freedom from the Mid-East, not a magic new source of energy or a perpetual running motor. It will still cost money and use dirty energy. The difference will shift the pollution from our cars to the power plants and take power/reliance away from the Mid-east (Iran).

My guess would be coal. Though I would prefer nuclear.
A big issue is dependence on foreign sources. I'd rather pay a little bit extra and not have funds going to the middle east and know that our energy sources are independent.
I'm not sure of the economics but for a car that was never driven far from home, a conversion to allow the engine to burn natural gas might work. I think Ford already sells dual fuel vehicles if you want a factory setup The only other item you'd need is a home compressor designed for natural gas to fill the vehicle. Those are available from a couple of sources.
Did I mention you wouldn't be paying state and federal fuel taxes?
