I actually did a presentation on this over the summer for my mini-mester Envir. Sci. course. We're most likely going to switch over to
Hydrogen Fuel Cells because they're the most efficient & effective in terms of polution, recyclability, usability (they can be used in just about anything), and productivity. If everyone focused on fuel cells then in theory we could easily generate more than enough hydrogen. I actually came up with a nice lil solution where we use windmills, coal deposits, solar energy, and nuclear energy to power the electric converters that seperate the hydrogen and oxygen. That way we'd have an almost unlimited supply. If you think about it, windmills and solar farms work almost all the time and the energy needed to produce hydrogen is minimal. The only things stopping it are popularity and lobbyist activities by big oil corperations. Trust me gents, HFC's are the way of the future and they aren't going anywhere.
As to the guy who is listening to Ford... remember they're still using pushrods.
Edit: Oh yeah and fuel cell tech should begin to mainstream as early as 208-2010. As for oil... well we're already close to peaking and with India and China developing as fast as they are we'll run out sooner than predicted. The most recent estimates I've seen say we'll peak in 20-30 max and be totally out of oil within 70 years max.
