Solar Hydrogen House

Watch this short video to learn about Michael Strizki's solar hydrogen house in NJ. He uses solar power to convert water into hydrogen (using an electrylser) which he then stores in 10 x 1,000 gal propane tanks. He then uses the hydrogen in those tanks to power his house through the winter. He also has a 15 year old geothermal system which helps heat and cool his home. The heat extracted from the air conditioning system is used to heat his hot water.

This is no doubt an expensive system. This guy doesn't appear to be a millionaire but I can certainly think of worse things to invest in. One negative is that once you build this, you probably would not have much incentive to move.
