We'd need to create motivation.

I also tend to think that gov't sponsored research could do the trick. I just notice that history suggests it'll take 30 years before we get anything usable. For fast effective solutions history suggest the free market beats gov't research pants off.

What I discussed with Daseal is a Nuclear/Hydrogen combo. Nuclear power would give us enough cheap, green electricity to power home hydrogen generation stations (extract hydrogen via electrolysis) that would allow us to fill our cars in our garage.
