17. Where do I start.
The electric car is the perfect choice for about 90% of driving that Americans do every day--round trips to work, total daily commute of under 50 miles. You plug it in at night, and it's ready to go tomorrow. Your trip costs about 4¢/mile, and there are very few maintenance costs.

Hydrogen fuel cells are another pacifier which will never see the light of day. They've been 20 years in the future for, oh, about 20 years now. Designed solely to keep your eye off the ball, while the oil industry supplies your fix.

1) Vehicles currently cost $1M.
2) No infrastructure.
3) Fuel is bulky and costly.
