But Jon wasn't claiming we'd see Mr Fusion from Back to the Future. He was saying we could use fusion power stations to produce hydrogen as a fuel source for hydrogen-combustion or fuel-cell vehicles.
Maybe that's what he meant but I was asking specifically about using fusion "in" a car (Message 11). I think we're all on the same page about that now.

Re: reality of fusion vs solar, wind and other renewable sources

Grid power is here to stay.
That prediction is about as useful as "fusion is the only answer".

It's possible that our civilization will evolve a small-scale distributed system using solar, wind, etc. It's also possible that our civilization will collapse because of its dependence on big energy.
