Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

Although both technologies are clean, electric is the clear winner in my eyes for a number of reasons. The ideal setup (if you are a home owner) would be to add a decent sized solar panel array to your house able to provide power to your house as well as charge your car or cars. The efficiency in this case is outstanding and about as clean as could be and quite inexpensive after the initial costs. Some perks include not losing power during storms, not paying for gas, or paying electric bills. With hydrogen, the entire process to produce, convert, store, move, and convert again is quite inefficient and you would be forced to rely solely on large power companies and whatever prices they have for hydrogen. You can even make some homemade types of solar collectors, do it yourself style for your house and very cheap although not near as good as high tech manufactured ones, but still are clean and with enough could make all the power you need. These types work on heat from sunlight which is converted to electricity. I do not foresee hydrogen used much besides possibly with cargo ships and large commercial vehicles. This may not even happen if battery tech keeps increasing density and losing weight.
