Honda is still partially banking on hydrogen, I can't understand, given Honda's amazing proclivity in creating household power tools, why it has not developed a household hydrogen ionizer and compressor for homeowner vehicle fueling. Such a device could dramatically reduce the need for larger commercial hydrogen fueling stations.

Hydrogen isn't a fuel source, it's a store of energy. Any home based generation requires considerable "overhead" in the form of a methane supply + steam generator or electric powered hydrolyzer.

Tell that to the relatives of those aboard the Hindenburg.
Looks like a fuel source to me.
Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. Hydrogen is the lightest element. At standard conditions hydrogen is a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula H2. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless,[8] non-toxic, and highly combustible.

I checked for equipment to turn water into hydrogen and oxygen and a fuel cell to convert the hydrogen back to electricity....you know, for my home energy storage system. The equipment was expensive. but the shocking part was the energy to make hydrogen was four times the energy I would get back out of the fuel cell. Back to waiting on the Solid State Batteries!!

Where is my hydrogen fuel cell cell: phone; presentation pointer; cigarette lighter; flashlight, and; laptop?
I also want: a lawn mower; leaf blower; string trimmer, and; chain saw.
Where is my 12 V fuel cell automotive battery?

Seems like a good place to drop this link: Hydrogen is unsuitable for home heating, review concludes
