"Generating the hydrogen fuel in the first place is, at this time, cost prohibitive. When they work out the kinks, then maybe it has a chance."
Exactly, it's not that I'm against the idea of hydrogen-powered cars - I'm not. It's just that I'm a realist. The best bet for large amounts of non-polluting relatively cheap power would seem to be nuclear, especially with the progress that has been made in reactor design over the last 30 or 40 years. But the same greenies who harangue us about greenhouse gasses will never approve of more nuclear power plants. Given reasonably priced electricity and ever-rising costs of fossil fuels (both monetary and geo-political), this may eventually become cost-efficient.
