No ones come close to finding something reasonable to replace oils use in our transportation infrastucture.

A network of fusion reactors would eventually result in an almost unlimited supply of cheap electricity. This surplus of power would finally make a hydrogen infrastructure possible, and finally make the hydrogen fuel cell practical for transportation. This would be the death knell for the fossil fuel economy. The best application of this technology would be desalinization, which if done on a large scale would bring fresh water to desert regions and could even be used to rehydrate depleted aquafirs. If the global geopolitical implosion can be avoided or somehow negated, hopefully by the changeover being gradual, maybe it will mean a brighter future for mankind, with an end to hunger and poverty world wide. It would eventually mean an end to the capitalist system as well, hence the upheaval.
