I won't argue the viability of Hydrogen as a fuel source but it is a fuel source. A fuel is defined as a source that is processed to obtain energy. Through combustion (a chemical reaction) coal, gas, and oil release their energy while producing smaller chemical molecules that happen to be pollutants. Through a specific chemical reaction, Hydrogen is coupled with Oxygen to produce water. This resulting chemical reaction produces energy, so by definition Hydrogen is a fuel.
