Its the same as a battery. You need primary energy to charge your

Probably by electrolysing water using grid electricity from coaal and
gat power staions.

No comment on the viability of Hydrogen fuel cells but surely
electrolysing water is something intermittent renewable sources are
suitable for, i.e. in the UK = wind.


The problem with that is having plant and employees lying idle when
there isn't any wind.


One of the failings of intermittent generators generally. It does not
seem to stop the buggers building em though.
