I think the long term solution should be hydrogen, preferable fuel cell based.
definitely. But for the hydrogen, you need some for of energy source to work with. Here in Norway, they are starting with wind power. There's a small area now that gets energy solely from wind - when there is more wind than need of energy, the excess goes to electrolysis, and when there is not enough wind, the hydrogen is stuffed through a fuel cell generator, and sustains the energy level.

That's where I think the strength of hydrogen comes in, rather than transport - at least in the beginning, before there are better ways of containing pressurised hydrogen gas.
