The easy solution is to just make green hydrogen. It's an already solved problem, lacking only political will.

    It is expensive though, so not a self runner in a free market economy.

    It will be cheaper than fossil fuels at some point in the future. The benefit of not being a finite resource. We can speed this process up if we scale up sooner rather than later.

    We are already running out of fossil fuels (particularly diesel) so that's a given. If we are going to see significant green hydrogen generation, it will likely be in advanced dirigistic economies like China.
