What is claimed is: 1. A power supply system comprising: a turbine for generating a first source of alternating current (AC), said turbine adapted to combust natural gas; a conversion device for converting said first source of AC into a first source of direct current (DC); a hydrogen liberator for producing hydrogen; and a device adapted to consume said hydrogen produced to generate a second source of DC. 2. A power supply system comprising: a first source of alternating current (AC); a conversion device for converting said first source of AC into a first source of direct current (DC); a hydrogen liberator for producing hydrogen; and a device adapted to consume said hydrogen produced to generate a second source of DC; and a control system which is operable to switch between one of a turbine and an electrical utility to obtain said first source of AC. 3. A power supply system comprising: a first source of alternating current (AC); a conversion device for converting said first source of AC into a first source of direct current (DC); a hydrogen liberator for producing hydrogen; and a fuel cell adapted to consume said hydrogen produced to generate a second source of DC. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein said fuel cell comprises at least one proton exchange membrane. 5. A power supply system comprising: a first source of alternating current (AC); a conversion device for converting said first source of AC into a first source of direct current (DC); a hydrogen liberator for producing hydrogen; a fuel cell adapted to consume said hydrogen produced to generate a second source of DC; and said hydrogen libertor is powered using a solar energy source. 6. The system of claim 5 comprising: a switch enabling said hydrogen liberator to be optionally powered by one of said first source of AC and a solar energy source. 7. The system of claim 6 wherein said switch is adapted to be activated depending on an amount of solar energy available. 8. The system of claim 6 including at least one capacitor to bridge when switching between said first and second sources of DC. 9. A mobile power system comprising: a mobile platform; a turbine on said platform for generating electricity; and a fuel cell on said platform for generating electricity. 10. A mobile power system comprising: a mobile platform; a turbine on said platform for generating electricity; a hydrogen-consuming device on said platform for generating electricity; and an additional device, said additional device comprising one of: (i) a solar panel, (ii) a hydrogen-generating device, (iii) an AC to DC conversion device, (iv) a capacitor, and (v) fuel tanks; said additional device being on or about said mobile platform.
