Not in our lifetime if ever

Had I read your post just yesterday, I would have agreed with you. But the writing is on the wall, and they have set a course. Look for the combustion engine's to be offered for specialty applications only, say after the year 2025.

And in most cases the course is backwards where we will all be waring blue jump suits and riding bycicls

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!

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
