I realize that fossil fuels are not needed to generate hydrogen, and I understand your point. It's just that you're assuming in 15-25 years a better method will be in place.

I'm just skeptical that new nuclear plants will get built in large enough quantities to allow a hydrogen economy. The general public, and some politicians, have a poor view of nuclear power. Solar power needs to make a big jump in efficiency, and wind/wave power doesn't work in the majority of areas. That's why I said "for the forseeable future."

I guess I'm just a pessimist.
