Steve be careful remember time is a factor in the equation, but I tend to agree it will take multiple forms of alternate energy to do it. Fred

Hydrogen from electrolysis is expensive now, but don't be so sure it will remain so. The Phoenix Project is just one example of how electrolysis-produced hydrogen could be made much cheaper. Worldwide several hundred billion dollars has been invested to develop cheap hydrogen, from electrolysis, within 10 years. Ask nanotech/biotech researchers about near term prospects for cheap hydrogen from non-fossil fuel sources. For excellent reasons, unprecedented advances, are anticipated within ten years.

Cheap hydrogen will run out when fossil fuels get expensive, as hydrogen from electrolysis is extremely expensive, comparatively speaking, due to energy conversion losses.
