Transporting and storing hydrogen is a bit of a pain.  I do like it for long haul trucks.  Maybe we go back to real truck stops that have hydrogen and recharging stations for cars.  Some day.

The efficiency question is very important. If you can "fill" your vehicle in 5 minutes instead of 55, but it costs you 10x as much as electricity to do it, or 5  minutes in 5 minutes but it's 5x as expensive as gas, it's not a viable "fuel" source.

Solar energy is free. Solar panels are not.
money is always very important, but folks are throwing large gobs of money around to avoid burning fossil fuels

when/if the solar panel is very efficient, it could be cost effective

Yeah, but you can't consistently lose large gobs of money and make it up in volume :57:

Solar is probably close to as efficient as possible, theoretically, same with wind.  It's not really a cost issue today, it's the intermittency, and power storage question.  You obviously need some kind of stable background electrical supply source, like nuclear or coal.

it's obviously because of global warming, caused by man made CO2

again man made co2 is less then 4% of the total co2 in the atmosphere

I don't know where you get this figure, or why it matters.
