This is Epic!
I personally love plants, and I would like to grow a few myself. I might even make it into my science fair project.
If hydrogen cars become popular, perhaps batteries can keep developing (maybe give them a century or so, that’s what it took for the first electric cars to become what they are now) and then hydrogen stations can be converted to electricity with fuel cells. If we switch to hydrogen, it wouldn’t be hard to switch to electricity, unlike switching from gas to electricity.
