You are correct. But there are many variables to future energy supplies (see below with Chief). Also, pollution is a growing problem that can't be answered with oil, & coal.

The point is hydrogen cars don't address oil and coal because you still currently need to use that to make the hydrogen by supplying the energy. Hydrogen isn't the energy source in of itself. Hydrogen fuel cells are more akin to a battery.

Auto manufacturers have nearly reached what science can get from trying to design a cleaner gas powered combustion engine. I wouldn't agree with that at all. There is always a possibility someone will design a better mousetrap. It just may be easier and more efficient to go a different direction, but I never rule out innovation from finding new solutions.
