Large tanks of pressurized hydrogen

Greetings list,

I recently ran across this company:

http://www.hydrogenics.com/hyups.htm

They're marketing a hydrogen fuel cell generator to the telecom market.  I 
know they have a few competitors (Ballard Power Systems?), with more 
companies in the R&D phase of product development.  Would you store a large 
tank of pressurized hydrogen in a downtown Manhattan office 
building?  Should people legally be allowed to?  Does anyone think fuel 
cell technology is a viable replacement for Diesel generators yet?
