My man there is like only 3 elements in this world that combust: carbon, hydrogen and sulphur.

Each one of them had 33% chance to be fuel of the future. Each of them use oxygen to combust.

Hydrogen + oxygen = water

Guess which one won.

EDIT: dude is asking about why a fuel is considered THE FUTURE in ELI5 and then you go AKCHUALLY iron also oxidises but very slow!. Go hit yourself in the face fedora munchers
