Past performance is not a good indicator of future performance ...
I'm good with any sort of change away from gasoline and diesel. Hydraulic hybrids, solar cars, compressed air motors ... even burning diesel to make electricity to charge electric cars is lower emissions than a decent gas engine in a car. Everything is a step in the right direction.
I'd prefer to stop using fossil fuel. But hydrogen cars, as was mentioned, develop the electric drivetrain as well so it benefits electric systems.
And I'd prefer not to have billions spent on new infrastructure - pipelines, fuel storage, electric roads, et al.
If we spread the research dollars around a bit, the lowest cost/greenest/whatever other criteria we come up with .. option will be found.
