I heard about that development after I made that post. I don't believe the stuff that I said would be a big problem anyway. As far as oil goes, we can keep using the stuff at current rates for a hundred years or more (Canada alone has a world supply of about 50 years). But just because we can use it for that long, doesn't mean we should.

The beauty of it is that it doesn't even need farmland. They could set up shop in Arizona and New Mexico.
Its stuff like this that makes me think that a global hydrogen economy isn't going to happen for quite a while. Why overhaul the entire system (fuel production, transportation, storage, engines) when you can get by making a few tweaks to the existing one.
