Don't rule out hydrogen as an alternative for Lithium batteries. Hydrogen wouldn't be dependent on any other country. And either Hydrogen or non-lithium batteries could provide us the energy independence we need to keep the next oil price shock from derailing our economy again.

That's more like it. With enough nuke power to make hydrogen production practical, this is a far better alternative to battery-powered cars. Still huge hurdles to overcome though to setup nation-wide distribution for liquid hrydogen though, not to mention retrofits for storage and transfer at fueling stations.

I still like it better than battery-powered cars though, which IMO is just silly.

Well, batteries would be great if there are enough improvements in the batteries, so that we aren’t having to replace them so often or recharge every 100 miles.

But I think batteries are still in the not yet viable category. While Hydrogen is actually implementable.
