There is a company is TX who is working on a Hydrogen powered super car, it does not use a fuel cell an convert H to Water and using electricity. It is a standard compression engine and burns H. so you can go to Hydrogen fueling station and you off and running again. This is the industry solution verse a Government solution.

Powerplants are more efficient than millions of individual gas powered cars which are inefficient in extracting energy out of gasoline/diesel.
The problem with burning hydrogen in a conventional ICE, it is massively inefficient. GM had a Hummer H2 with a supercharged 6.0 liter V8 running on hydrogen. It only produced 180 HP..... The H2 hydrogen concept is old so who knows what kind of strides this TX company made in improving the efficiency of an ICE running on hydrogen.
The fuel cell concept is more viable for a hydrogen powered vehicle. It takes hydrogen to create electricity to power the electric motor. You can still go to a hydrogen fueling station to fill up just like a gas powered car.
