Why can't we use Solar pv array "farms" to break down water into the gasses off grid? The farmed Hydrogen could then be transported for sale at stations like propane.

because solar pv is really, really expensive. If you want your driving to cost about $5.00 a gallon, this is a great way to do it. Otherwise, the cost of solar pv has to drop a LOT before it is anything other than a bit player in the energy market.

I can only wish that solar tech. could have kept pace with say the computer chip industry. If it had... we'd be making Hydrogen for $.50 a gal. by now!

Good point though. I wonder how long it will take untill demand puts us over the price hump.
