There are possibly two other reasons.
1. Costs of Converting gas stations to Hydrogen stations
2. Some Governments make a killing off gas taxes (Guess they can always change to a H2 tax)[/QUOTE]pritchke, the moment that hydrogen is used in cars at any decent level, governments will start taxing hydrogen. Don't think for a second that it will be otherwise.
Your comment about "Costs of Converting gas stations to Hydrogen stations" is well taken. I actually think that it's not only just about cost. Think about it. It's also about getting enough of the hydrogen-stations for buying a hydro-car to be viable. A hydro-car's not worth a darned if there are not enough places to refuel.
It's sort of a symbiotic relationship. Without enough of one, it will difficult to sell more of the other.
