If by soon you mean maybe in 50 years or so.

Electric planes will replace internal combustion

More specifically, your hydrogen is easily
obtained by even the poorest of solar panels.


Typical naive comment; it is techincally easy to obtain hydrogen though not

As usual, no sense whatsoever for the big picture, much like your thinking
