You're yanking my chain, right?
There is a HUGE difference between hydrogen fuel cells and hydrogen fusion power. Hydrogen fuel cells are about burning hydrogen (Hydrogen + Oxygen = Steam) to create motive force. Hydrogen fusion is about turning Hydrogen into Helium in a way that releases ENORMOUS heat - and while we've figured out nuclear fission, we have a long way to go before we can generate electricity via nuclear fusion. Comparing the two is like comparing a candle to a supernova...
