That is a pretty bold prediction. If you are so sure put your money where you mouth is - I mean if it will never go down put all your money into oil commodities and you won't even need a job as a pilot.

Hydrogen cars are far far away. The infrastructure and the energy required to make hydrogen cars is in no way feasible in the near future (at least 10 years). Barring any exceptional breakthrough a hydrogen society is still science fiction. Take the time to watch this video all the way through please. While you will see hydrogen cars are possible, the technology still has a long way to go before a hydrogen society becomes a reality.

Do some research on EV and you will see that not only are electric cars an option right now - they were years ago. Yes, the technology exists right now for you and me to drive around 100 miles on one charge at speeds fast enough to drive on freeways and not use one drop of gas/oil (assuming your electricity comes from a non oil burning electric plant). I'd put my hopes into an EV way before a hydrogen based car. Go to your local library and rent the documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car?'.
