2020 before anything really happens IMO
I know nothing of the technology behind anything like that, but surely if they can be run on hydrogen then technically couldn't they be run on water, with only oxygen as waste? Or (presumably) is there not enough hydrogen in water to do that? (I'm really cluless here - chemistry was never my favourite in science)
