As previously said in the water engine thread, the only true renewable resource is sunlight, and it is a far sight easier to turn that into electricity than it is to turn it into oil. Whether you use the electricity to break water apart for fuel cells, or IC, or use it to power electric motors, who cares.
The only thing holding back electric vehicles besides the oil lobbies has been battery technology.

Not quite. You can partially charge a full-electric car usign regenerative braking, but when those batteries get low/empty how do you keep going up a hill so you can recharge coming down the other side? Unless/until battery technology gets to the point that you can fully recharge your car's system in the time it takes to, say, finish your grocery shopping, it'll lose out to mproved hybrid technology. 125 mile
