Couple of favorites of mine:
Nuclear energy to produce electricity. Electricity can be used to split water and extract hydrogen which can be burned in a (highly) modified internal combustion engine so that we can have the power and performance we’re used to.
The other is fuel cell tech.
This, of course, is assuming that we take the greenies at face value, that they’re actually concerned about the environment. This is not true, though. Their main concern is our lifestyle - they want to reduce it.

Absolutely spot on, they want to reduce our lifestyle, yours and mine, not theirs.
How does that compare in efficiency and ease of use to just running electric cars? Hydrogen is tough to work with and has a low energy density by volume so that it takes a very large, high pressure tank to compare to the typical 15-gallon (5.6 megajoules/liter when compressed at 700 atm. compared to 34.6 MJ/L for gasoline).
We already have the infrastructure for electricity delivery, but we don't have one for hydrogen yet.
