Actually, electricty answers all problems. With cheap and reliable electricity, we can make as much cheap hydrogen as we need (electricity to crack water).

We'd need a distribution system sure -- no trivial matter -- but ordinary cars already run on h2 with few changes (BWM has one). Even H2 jet planes might be possible (they have serious problems, but experimental work was done on them in the 1950s).

Not to mention electric trains, electric buses...

In a sense, electricity *is* the problem.
