That's a hell of an "if" statement there my friend :)
I agree though, in a thousand years there will be a worldwide electricity grid that takes care of the "big picture" energy flows; hydrogen will be created as needed to serve as chemical feedstock to make eg plastics or hydrocarbons for specialized purposes. That or we kill ourselves in the meantime, but since killing everyone is in nobody's best interest I don't think that'll happen. Hopefully.

Indeed! It's one of many reasons that "the best" isn't always the real best.
I'm extremely optimistic about technology, but not so about politics.
