Hardly..

As long at there is not a 3rd world war that sets us back to the dark ages there will be combustion engines for hundreds of years to come! Granted, you and many like you may be riding in smart cars.. but next to you on the highway there will be trucks, delivery vans, 18 wheelers, etc that will be using combustion engines.. Just hope and pray their mirrors are big enough to see you little spec of a car!

Your nuts!... I love the combustion engine, my truck has a 460 engine, and I loved my 1200 Harley...but neither you or I can't stop progress

Bud.. nothing I said is nuts..

Fact remains it will be many Many MANY years before the come up with something to replace the trucks I noted above.

As for progress.. The greenie hippie socialist have been predicting the end of the combustion engine for decades.. So I don't see where I am being silly by having a 'show me' and 'seeing is belving' aproach to this latest atempt to call the combustion engine DOA

Two words...energy density.

End of story.

Your mobility (at least long range) will depend on an ICE for a long time.

I am with AofA, if they dont find something to fill the hole that gas would leave, meaning all the jobs in the transport, production and sale of gas you wont see it happen... the the big corporate giants need to be appeased first.

Kinda like cancer... an average treatment costs around 20 grand... hundreds of thousands are employed for the current "treatment" options... could you imagine what would happen if they cured it... it would cost alot of people alot of money... they arent in that big of a hurry... although they are working hard on breast cancer, Hollywood needs to look good

Too jaded?
