However, we also think that, while we’re waiting for a hydrogen economy, there are many other renewable energy resources that are already in use and could be used further.

You need a source of power to extract hydrogen from water. Nuclear seems like a good bet. Not only would it provide the means of producing hydrogen to power our cars, it would, as Glenn Reynolds recently pointed out, provide a non-CO2-emitting means of powering and heating our cities.

Plus, once we’re really up and running with nuclear, the transition from uranium to helium 3 should be resonably straightforward (after we get back to the moon and figure out to make fuel out of the stuff).
