Theres also an economic arguement as to why alternatives are not available. The revenue from fuel duties is staggering. If the water/hydrogen powered car was generally available, governments would have to do something pretty drastic to recoup those losses. As it is, we have all grown used to the stealth tax fuel duties represent, and pay up. If alternatives were available, and fuel duties dried up, where would that money come from? The average motorist pays thousands in stealth tax every year. Say for instance, the govt said 'right, we're getting that money back by making road tax 2,500 per year.' Not going to go down very well is it? But you're right. The road we are on appears to be leading somewhere very unpleasant.
