Today it is, but it's like oil was 100 years ago.

Not wanting to be harsh, but stop thinking statically, in the short
term...try thinking like an inventor/entrepreneur, not a schoolboy/employee.
Most of all, stop barfing back with the schools/media feeds you.

Actually, it's the schools/media feeding everyone this hydrogen pipe
dream. It's precisely because I'm thinking like an inventor/entrepreneur
that I suspect it will be much more practical, cheaper, faster and
better to develop diesel based technologies when it comes to the storage
and use of fuels (particularly in large machines).

Absolute BS!

You call going with a slight adjustment to the status quo
inventor/entrepreneurship?

No, that's why I didn't mention one.

Umm...yes, you did.

Diesels are neither necessary, even in the longer term, nor desirable due to
their ability to generate pollution if not maintained.

And inventor/entrepreneur is still bound by laws of the market unless they
live in a command economy.

Exactly; that's why the 'hydrogen economy' won't be here any time soon,
but biodiesels will be. The back end for the use of biodiesel needs a
radical change but the front end (i.e. the end users) don't need the
radical change.

Look at pretty much any entrepeneur - I think we can all agree Bill
Gates is an exemplar with this - yet Bill Gates and Microsoft have never
done anything radical at the 'front end' because the market won't stand
for it. (In fact Microsoft can barely be counted as being an innovator)

The "Blue Screen of Death" does not count as innovative? Damn, you're hard
to please...

Apparently, Longhorn will also have a *red* screen of death!

I understand that the vast majority of MS's R&D goes for reverse engineering
competing products.
