I had my hopes up for hydrogen, but that seems to be getting shot-down. I also believe weaning ourselves off of Middle Eastern oil is more important than weaning ourselves off oil altogether right now. It’s ridiculous we won’t drill for oil within our own borders more extensively than we do, and the majority of our oil already doesn’t come from the ME, seems we could get off it altogether if we’d just drill.

The only way hydrogen will be a fuel source is if we get fusion working.
And that has been 20 years away for the last 50 years.
Other than that, we either get hydrogen from fossil fuels at some expense (better to burn the fuel directly) or it takes MORE energy to extract it from sea water than we can get back with any chemical reaction.
