Another problem is fundamentally the game you're playing is mass and capex providing a way to turn air and H2 into power. Author is correct that fuel cells suck, but whats even worse is a little hybrid H2 turbine would be lighter, cheaper, higher powered, and in a real world situation, higher natgas well to wheel efficiency. In fact, rather than turning natgas from a well into H2, you'd be better off just burning the natgas in the turbine.
Turbines do have some deployment issues such as outputing enough nitrogen oxides to generate a cloud, etc. But in a hybrid system, they're pretty cool.
Basically you're taking an electric car and a very small electric company natgas peaking plant and putting it in the trunk with a charger.
