1. Where are these refilling stations? I see none on the interstates.

2. You are right here. It makes no fucking sense whatsoever to generate hydrogen from electricity generated by burning natural gas. Might as well fuel the semi tractor with natural gas in the first place.

Rockets and space probes! Yup! That's the ticket. It works well, too. I especially like ion drives once one is beyond low Earth orbit, fueled by xenon or argon. (Best when one is not in a hurry, nevertheless, very efficient.)
