...hydrogen...

Which is abundant in its elemental form and can readily be dug out of the ground.  Oh, no, wait... it can't.

h2 isn't a new source of energy.  merely a different way to store energy from some other source.  It might solve a storage and distribution problem, but that's about it.  I think we'll go to all battery vehicles before h2.  90%+ of daily personal transport needs fit within the 250 mile range of EVs.

Our best source of new energy is to cut consumption via technology.  there is essentially nothing but stubborness preventing the USA from getting fleet mileage up to 40 MPG from current 20ish.  Doing that alone knocks about 5 MMBD gasoline demand out.
