It will.
Number one, electric cars are improving by leaps and bounds. I would put a 50-50 bet on a market breakthrough within the next ten years, like cell phones. Weak points are going to be battery infrastructure, which is mature for lead-acid batteries, but not so much for larger batteries using other tech.
Number two, nuclear (and eventually fusion, one hopes) will make a hydrogen economy, not simple, but far more feasible than it is now.
