Ah, Boris Hood looks promising!

They keep the eco-warriors happy though!

We should be going down the hydrogen fuel route in my opinion:https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-ne...-have-a-future

However, if the eco-warriors were aware of how hydrogen is produced, perhaps they wouldn't be too keen. Power cells and such like all require energy for their production and windmills aren't going to fit the bill!
We need many more nuclear power stations.

A quick search though found more information about hydrogen-powered cars, see the link below plus another link below that is a website about hydrogen production:

As it explains, most methods of hydrogen production rely on electrolysis or perhaps fossil fuels, so my choice would be nuclear power in preference.
