I agree, but how? Hydrogen may be plentiful(to the point of being the most abundant element in the universe) but it doesn't exist in a form we can use in too many places, which is to say none, outside of stars. So where do we get our hydrogen from? Water? It takes a lot of solar and/or wind based energy to generate the amount of hydrogen we'd need to fuel the millions of vehicles that are going to be the primary drain on this source. It's going to cost a whole lot of money to put that infrastructure in place, and we need to start today.
I'm not a conspiracy thoerist, but I think we all know that the oil companies have a fair amount of pull with this administration. I'm not Bush bashing, just stating a fact. If you want a hydrogen industry that's clean from start to finish, the oil companies have to be out of the picture. Unfortunately, that won't happen. So basically what we're looking at is a slow shift to cleaner methods of hydrogen production as fossil fuel supplies dry up.
