“95% of hydrogen is manufactured from fossil fuels”

If they had true hydrogen fueled capabilies, wouldn’t only water be needed in any kind of production or support of hydrogen fueled power sources? I’m not a mechanic I need to learn more about this.I know this concept used to be floated in the “popular science” magazine, but it seemed like science fiction then. I’m going to the hardware to see if I can’t get me one of those new Stihl ‘water powered’ chainsaws.

It takes energy to separate the oxygen and hydrogen in water. You get that energy back when you recombine them (minus lost energy in conversion process). The hydrogen as used is simply a storage of energy obtained elsewhere.
