Fuel cells are a very good alternative and should be practically available
in the near future.

Of course that tech won't ever see the light of day. :(
This doesn't make sense. It takes energy to split water into Oxygen and
hydrogen. To then burn that hydrogen to power the car is just a waste of
energy. Why not just use the energy used to crack the water to power the
car? There is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine =)
