That's not to mention the big undertaking of reconfiguring the nation's gas stations to dispense hydrogen, or figuring out how to create and ship it.
"When you start piling miracle upon miracle, it's just really hard to believe," Mr. Romm said.
On the positive side, hydrogen can be generated in a number of different ways. It could be a solution to issues like oil dependency, and possibly cheaper than gasoline in the future. Fuel cell cars are not truly emission-free, because it takes energy, and emissions, to create pure hydrogen. But they would be an improvement in terms of global warming and air pollution, depending on how the hydrogen was produced.
One mental challenge to overcome would be the image in people's minds of a certain exploding airship filled with hydrogen, though automakers contend that fuel cell cars would be no more flammable than cars filled with gasoline.
Mr. Spallino says he hears about this a lot.
"Everybody says, 'You're driving the Hindenburg,' " he said, adding, "I assume that Honda's not going to give me a car that's going to blow up on me."
