Here's a quote from the website of stuartenergy, the Canadian company that is providing the technology for the hydrogen fuelling stations in California. (Way to go Canada! Message to America: if you snooze, you loose!)

Corporate Information

Stuart Energy has a proud, 54-year history as a pioneering organization in hydrogen technology research, development and product engineering. The vision for distributed, on-site creation of hydrogen through water electrolysis began with Alexander T. Stuart in 1905, and began to be commercially realized when he and his son, Alexander K. (Sandy) Stuart, the current chairman, formed the Company in 1948.

Today, the Stuart Energy vision is one of the industry's driving forces that is ushering in the new hydrogen economy. As a result, we are strongly positioned with a first-mover advantage in the rapidly expanding hydrogen marketplace. We are in a race to become the global leader in building the infrastructure for the emerging hydrogen economy and we are focused on our strategic goal of meeting the world 's growing demand for hydrogen as a safe, clean, secure and sustainable source of energy.
