Hydrogen fuel cells work because you take water and use energy to break it into hydrogen and oxygen. You then stick the hydrogen in a fuel cell, combine it with oxygen to make water, and get a reasonable fraction of the original energy back as electricity.

The reason this invention can't work is that there is no possible source for the energy, unless there's something they don't mention in their publicity statements.

And here I thought the real reason that Rumsfeld was kicked out was that he ordered the torture at Abu Ghraib, and with the Democrats in Congress, there was no way to avoid this coming out. So they're throwing him out as a scapegoat.
