One concern I have about platinum is that scientists are hard at work developing substitute catalysts... Hydrogen from Acidic Water: Potential Low Cost Alternative to Platinum for Splitting Water sciencedaily.com ScienceDaily (Feb. 9, 2012) — A technique for creating a new molecule that structurally and chemically replicates the active part of the widely used industrial catalyst molybdenite has been developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). This technique holds promise for the creation of catalytic materials that can serve as effective low-cost alternatives to platinum for generating hydrogen gas from water that is acidic.
