fuel cells either use hydrogen, which is as much use as chocolate fireguard for mass transport
or bacteria, in which case they don't work.

your second point is a valid one, though.
The only way that human population will continue to expand is another source of resources, or extraterrestrial colonisation. The problem is that we think we're cleverer than we are, we think we're more important than we are, and we hugely underestimate what a bunch of selfish cunts we are. Preservation of resources for future generations? Like fuck. You'll sooner see Monty listening to Boyzone.

I don't see the problem with Hydrogen as a fuel stuff.
Production is a problem at the moment but there was just a few days ago a study about a new enzyme discovered to catalise the production from water. Transport and storage is not beyond current tech.

the amount of activation energy necessary to separate H from O in water is astronomical.
So, we aren't going to overcome that. Not even with some funky enzyme. And every other source of H2 is, one way or another, a limited resource.

Production is not ever going to stop being a problem because from a chemical energy point of view it's hideously unfavourable.
