Hydrogen - A Viable Energy Source For Communities?

According to a recent CNet article, Las Vegas' success with establishing hydrogen as one of it's primary sources of energy is encouraging other communities to take a serious look at doing the same thing within their own areas.Hydrogen atom (Bohr model)

Las Vegas has built a hydrogen generation station to run it's fleet of hydrogen fueled vehicles. The station is completely sustainable, using solar energy as it's energy source for making hydrogen from the electrolysis of water. It actually collects more solar energy than it needs in 24 hours, so it sells the excess to Nevada's electrical grid.

According to Las Vegas officials, there are several benefits of using hydrogen: improved air quality, more energy independence  and creating new business for the economy.

I especially like the idea of using solar to generate the hydrogen.
