This goes a long way to redress the balance between the cost of petrol
and
the taxes. Besides by using at a slower rate, perhaps fuel will be
available
longer.

The future won't be a hydrogen economy (I reckon) - it'll be a diesel
economy.

In the short run maybe, but not over, I'd guess more than 20 years,

It's much easier to convert the diesel infrastructure to use
non-crude oil based fuel than it is to move to a hydrogen economy.

Hmmm...a series of tests by the Univeristy of Colorado a few years ago
indicated the a HUGH proportion of pollution comes from diesels.
