Hey drkdsm, Great find!
I think this is quite interesting. I can't speculate too much with my non-scientific understanding, although I will point out that Ra said:
This seems to imply to me that the hydrogen is not used in a combustible way like we might imagine in a rocket. I gather that the article is speaking more to that aspect... But then again I might be reading in to it too much. The other way it might be used is in a fusion process which is the same way stars generate their heat and light, converting hydrogen in to helium in the process. That process indeed generates A LOT of energy, maybe that's how Ra intended it?
Mr. Fusion comes to mind:
