High-efficiency hydrogen fuel production

We may be on the verge of switching to hydrogen-fueled vehicles! An Israeli company has suggested a much more efficient way of generating the necessary hydrogen: http://www.isracast.com/tech_news/231005_tech.htm
I'm not sure if their idea will lend itself well to on-board fuel production; however, if the underlying reaction is robust enough, it may solve the twin problems of production and transportation.

There was good news too related to an accidental discovery of an alternative to light bulbs. It's in google news - science by the way

You all think I've been suckered, I take it? Well, chemestry wasn't my strongest suit, so I won't claim it's impossible.

Edit:
Just saw the article on /.; I'm gonna have a few words with the guy who forwarded that to me.

Ah well, hope springs eternal.

Actually, I am holding out for low sulpher diesel fuel autos in the US that they are promising to roll out in 2006.
