We should all be striving for the day when we can produce all the fuel and energy we need right at home.

It's almost the stuff of science-fiction, imagining a world where we no longer think much about our energy production/consumption. It seems like a very real possibility, but someone is going to make sure that we still pay for it. Like the recent talk of road taxes by-the-mile, the government will probably be the first in line...

Well, it's quite simple: The system will be a a success once the cost for insterest rates and amortisation are below what you pay your electricity provider (i.e. not only power generation, but also grid maintenance). That will still take some time and even once parity is reached it that doesn't mean everybody will switch at once. But two things are good to know: Hydrogen technology is a.) getting smaller and thus b.) getting cheaper.
