This is a test

I'm curious, can we agree on these 6 points, not listed in order of importance?

1-Hydrogen is not going to be the replacement for oil. It will however be used in some places for it's attributes, how much depending on the improvement in technology.
2-Electric vehicles will most likely be a part of the transportation mix, and improvements in battery technology will be pivitol in the size of it's share
3-We will probably end up with a bunch of different axillary transportation solutions in different countries and cities just because of politics. 4-Because there is no single solution (yet), the economies of scale won't be as big as they could be.
5-The first and formost solution is to conserve the oil we have and reduce emissions, for our health and it might help, but certainly can't hurt, the environment.
6-Hybrids are probably the best short term solution to achieve #5 while research continues on multiple technologies.
