I sure don't know.
The government won't let domestic energy companies dig, drill or prospect where the energy can be found. God forbid that a snail darter, yellow-cheeked warbler, spotted owl or a gimp-legged slumbago worm is disturbed. "Frack no, don't drill there, 44 sea otters went to crustacean heaven in the oil spill of '69"! Just where will we get the energy?
There is absolutely no way that the American oil companies are going to freely and easily put up the billions of U.S.A. dollars to fund the massive infrastructure restructuring that would be required to service an American nationwide fleet of hydrogen-powered "golf carts with roll-up windows and air conditioning".

Perhaps if the domestic oil companies were to drill in all the leases they presently hold they could avoid the National Parks? The numbers for these unused leases are rather large.
As to the golf cart comparison I guess you have never seen a hydrogen powered vehicle. BTW we do have a golf cart, great way to get around the property, especially considering the 50 foot difference in levels.
