Of course it was impractical, and there haven't been any real changes since that time that make it any more practical. All of the problems that made it impractical then, as far as I know, are still there today. Therefore, to claim that somehow we are going to have hydrogen powered cars in 5 years time seems quite silly. The knowledge in how to convert a normal auto engine to hydrogen power has been there since the 1970s. If it was practical it would have started to happen then, when gasoline prices were (adjusted for inflation) about 3 times what they are now. -- -Glennl e-mail hint: add 1 to quantity after brasil.
