You'll never see hydrogen powered cars in any number. It takes too much
energy to put the hydrogen in a bottle for my use in a car.

given the fact that there is no oil or gas available (timewarp yourself to
the future): what kind of energy and energy storage would you use for
powering small units like cars?

I won't give you that as it will never happen.

Yet to be developed. Hydrogen can work but it takes much more energy
than we use right now for cars to make it work.

Bio Diesel or Ethanol. Both will come from growing sugar cane or some
other high yield low cost plants.

Well, there appear to be more options than gets typically discussed.
Recently, a local company has gotten a bit of media attention for their
non-poluting engine that could reduce dependence on fossil fuel
consumption, though I think at this point it makes more sense as an
alternative source of electrical energy for home use than for autos.
Still, the inventors think that use in autos is possible.
