Hydrogen, electric cars for the commute that don't use any gasoline at all, and not a penny cheaper to run but at least they aren't dependent on foreign oil.

There are no hydrogen wells anywhere to be found, you know... Hydrogen is not a primal source of extracted energy, it's a way to store energy that is produced by other means.

Promoting fuel cells is nice, but without legislation fast-tracking nuclear energy, it's not very helpful. If you have to burn imported fuel to produce hydrogen, then you are set further back because the process is less efficient than gasoline engines, due to the multiple conversions.
