Hydrogen fuel cell systems are already in use at Walmart. The company inked a deal with Plug Power that sent over 1700 forklifts using the system to Walmart stores. The forklifts actually benefit from hydrogen power, since battery power would result in decreased performance when the charge of the battery would die.
In addition to the forklifts, an entire power plant is run on fuel cell energy in South Korea, while Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota all have fuel cell versions of their automobile lines in development. A number of hydrogen power stations for cars and buses are already set to launch in California, even though the cost for each station sits in the $2 million dollar range.
