PV and Fuel cells [RE-wrenches]

Bill,

What a great way to create "clean" energy!

I wonder what's wrong with separating hydrogen from water with wind energy?
Wouldn't western Lake Superior be a great place to have such a plant?
Imagine a fuel cycle with 0 pollution, except in the original manufacturing
of equipment.
