That's an interesting article on water availability. They need to find better ways to cool their plants, or cooler ways to produce hydrogen from water. Solar power can be used to make hydrogen, that's a completely clean way, as long as the compressor is also powered by solar.

Why use fresh water? You don't need to use water at all. Most hydrogen is produced as a byproduct of other industrial processes, but you can also extract it from landfill gas, natural gas etc.

Ummm 72% of the Earth's surface is made of err WATER? Like Griffon said, using clean water is not a requirement.

I read that distilled water is required for th electrolysis of water and that salt water was unacceptable for cooling towers becasue of corrosion and other problems.
