There is no viable replacement for fossil fuels (petroleum). The electric car is the hybrid. Hydrogen was never a viable fuel - could not even work in theory. Compressed air - do the thermodynamics. Also not viable. Biofuels - myths. Yes, there are exceptions just like some farmers still use the old wind mill for backup electricity. But face reality. We have no viable alternative to current petroleum transportation systems for the next 30 years. And then, only in limited applications.
Time to start getting smart about it. The only solution is doing more with less. Smart as in letting scientists – not White House lawyers – write the science papers.
