A) Jack Nicholson back then was excessively rich. He could afford an alternative power car.B) nowhere to refuel them, C) hydrogen is simply a way of storing the energy. You can say that it is the equivalent of a battery, in that electricity+water=hydroge n+oxygen. The electricity has to come from somewhere, and many places are in a chronic water shortage state anyway.D) Having all cars fueled by water may cause havoc with infrastructure, particularly tunnels. In certain weather conditions, the condensation would cause slippery conditions and mould, especially in road tunnels and the like.
I'm guessing that the same problem facing hydrogen-based vehicles today was to blame for this failure. Where do you get hydrogen from? Yeah, sure you can react it from water using electricity from solar cells, but If it takes a month's worth of hydrogen production to fuel a 15-minute round-trip to the grocery store, the technology won't fly.

Becuase there isn't anywhere to refuel them.

I'm hearing battery is the way to go (?)
