2. Internal combustion engines will go away eventually. It's only a matter of time, but perhaps no one current on this site will be alive to see it. It's gonna happen. Or at least for the mainstream populace. There will always be some around but as oil reserves get deleted eventually it will be too expensive for most people to run an ICE daily. ICE will be relegated to a hobby.



My thoughts exactly. No resource is infinite (although, the sun is pretty close from our perspective). I've just been thinking recently that until they can get away from the whole plug-it-in-and-wait-a-few-hours model... electric cars (and bikes especially) won't sell very well. But if you could pull into the station, cough up your 20 bones and get your battery (or cell...whatever) swapped out to get you another couple of hundred miles down the road (taking no longer than a petrol fill-up)... I think more people would be down with it.

Now if I only knew who to sell this idea to
