Mostly true. However, there are no "hydrogen wells" or "hydrogen mines", most
all supplies of hydrogen come from oil (hydrocarbon-petroleum.) It is possible
to separate hydrogen from sea water with electricity or supertemperatures,
however, this requires an energy source to do so.
Hydrogen fuels, at least at this point, are a fairy tale to appease the
masses...
Cold fusion is still a possible resource, however, if it is developed to its
full extent, any one with a glass of water can probably develop a "super
weapon", I think they will drag their feet for a long time because of that...

There are some interesting chemistries coming on line that may
actually be able to produce hydrogen from biomass that have a
favorable input/output result.

Hydrogen is attractive because it could allow us Americans to keep
driving ourselves around in our little cars.
