My thing with electricity is the range. If the range can get to 300-400 miles in an high end yet affordable car, then I'm ok with it. And yes, I know Hydrogen is technically an "electric" call.

As far as dream fuels, biofuel from algae is my favorite. Less problems with real estate like corn and you can feed it waste water processed w/ bacteria.
What he was saying is it takes more energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen than you get by burning it. That's just down to the chemical make up of the molecule.
