The kicker is re-charging the borax with hydrogen. It will cost more energy than the charged borax produces to re-charge it.
The fuel cell is *NOT* an energy source. If you think it is then you are eligible for an Ignoble prize for reinventing the perpetual motion machine. It is an energy transducer, from chemical to electrical. What it does provide is a means of using energy in a mobile application.
If we build nuclear power plants, we could use the electricity produced to electrolize water and produce hydrogen. Thus we would have a way to increase our energy supply by using nuclear technology. Thus we could transition to a nuclear based energy economy , which would include, indirectly, mobile applications.
