The problem with this is often the electricity required to run the electrolisis. Now days we have power shortages in the summber because people use air conditioning. Imagine the power requirements to fuel the US's cars, and everything else.

So perhaps you've stop polution from the car, but you've created more by the need to build more power plants. The only advantage is that we wouldnt have to import water, thus reducing the up and running cost. However start up cost would be astronomical.
