Without doing the exact math, I would say we would need hundreds of nuclear power plants to not only replace the oil and gas fired ones in use today, but also to create enough energy to make all that hydrogen at night.

I suspect that what is really going to happen is some nuclear power plants will be built, maybe a hundred or so, a whole lot less energy usage will have to take place as far as cars go, meaning we will all end up driving something the size of a Geo or some such junk and taking the bus as well.
The economy will tank because oil permeates our entire economy.
Some electric cars will be on the road with some hydrogen cars.
I don't see gasohol and biodiesel doing much because there is only so much waste grass and crap to go around.
Anyway you slice it, it don't look good.
