OK, you've convinced me that hydrogen perhaps isn't the solution. But I still see recharge times as a deal breaker for pure electric cars (which from other posts of yours I get the feeling you might agree about). I cannot see any prospect of ever being able to charge up batteries fast enough.
So: what would you suggest is a viable alternative to petroleum for powering personal transport? It's a problem that has to be solved. BTW, re. renewable energy generation: I'm skeptical that wind/wave/tidal/hydro/geothermal can ever deliver enough. Possibly solar in some parts of the world (but certainly not the UK!) As far as I can see, fusion is the only realistic solution, but it's still a long way off.
