The hydrogen economy has been hyped since Nixon, but especially for the past 8 years by misguided futurists at DOE. Under Bush, it has simply been a ruse. The hydrogen economy will never happen. Joe Romm's book "The Hype About Hydrogen" does a pretty good job of pointing out the many challenges of the hydrogen economy, but he still understates the problems. I've had a number of productive discussions with Joe over the past ten months, and it's clear he's steadily become more negative about hydrogen since the book and more facts and analyses appeared. Check out my article for a more in-depth treatment of the scientific and engineering challenges. 'Fuels for Tomorrow's Vehicles', http://www.dotynmr.com/PDF/Doty_FutureFuels.pdf . The National Commission on Energy Policy has just released a major study that is really thorough and scientifically sound - a real change for this administration.

The future in transporation belongs to advanced biofuels -- Not corn ethanol, but cellulosic ethanol, surgar cane ethanol, and biodiesel from a number of energy crops. A sea change is beginning. F.
