Actually I think we will still use hydrocarbons as comment 67 so rightly points out, my own attempts at energy self-sufficiency are to pay less tax and limit the amount of money I pay for a commodity controlled mainly by people who want to kill me and destroy my civilisation, so by changing my consumption by using Hydrogen I do my bit to reduce the amount of money they can take from us.
As I live in Europe and teh distance is not as big as in the USA, my commute is less so this approach will work for me, I guess that we will have different solutions. Personally I hope that they keep refining the Hydrogen based fuel cell.
I am waiting for the right cost/efficiency for the direction I want to go and then I will take the plunge.
Did anyone look at the ITM site?
