We need to build about 200 nuclear power plants across the country to 
provide enough excess night time power to be able to produce that much 
hydrogen.  Plus an infrastructure needs to be built to deliver the 
hydrogen to the automobile fleet in this country.  It will take about 20 
years to build that much, assuming unchallenged current regulations.  A 
government mandated plan could probably be done in about 10 years. 
Legally challenged, it could be 50 or more years.
