while there are methods to use solar/wind power to break down water, they don't appear to be extremely viable at this time. water might be plentiful, but there was a time where oil was considered plentiful as well. once it's gone, it ain't coming back. and water is a little more important than oil...
15 years ago, you could have said the same things about Battery-powered cars.

And hydrogen fuel cells emit water vapor. It's simply taking oxygen and recombining it with the hydrogen that produces the energy. So no, we will not run out of water.

And why has the 2ng gen thread become another EV debate thread!?!?
