Hello,
good idea to shift to other technologies - less dependent to other countries, cheap energy - a dream come true.
Burning fossil resources is a waste, apart from pumping the burned gaseous carbon hydroxydes into the air again - without cutting off the detritious cycle of organic matter millions of years ago the world would not have the amount of oxygen it now has.
We should reserve oil for making plastics and medicine like aspirine, not burn it. Hydrogenium has all you need, and production and storing is currently being developed for fuel cells in Germany.
Unfortunately the production of hydrogen is expensive, but if you put some hundred years of development in it (like it was put into refining of oil etc.), it may well replace other energy bearing substances. B.t.w. the production of H with nuclear reactors is much too small for real use.
Fusion is a good idea (if it worked), but remains the problem of the storage of the produced energy.
Greetings,
Catfish
