Well .... I would'nt be surprised if there is some tangible out of this whole business by 2010 . There is a huge DOE research project looking at sequestering Carbon dioxide from power plants and other big industries directly at source. Looking at how destructive the weather has been over the last year, this is not surprising. However, 25% of CO2 emissions are from automobiles and cannot be trapped. One of the advantages of shifting to Hydrogen is that, most of the CO2 emission will be taking place from a few locations and it will be easy to trap it and put it underground.
The government released $1.2 billion couple of years ago just into Hydrogen fuel research and the plan is to have someting tangible by 2015. However, looking at how the pressure is increasing - 2010 is probably not an impossible target to achieve.
For those interested, the Hydrogen road-map and other interesting stuff is available on the energy.gov and DOE webpages. Dont have the links on hand - Google them up :)
