We're on borrowed time guys - looks like Mad Max come true, but it won't be leather clad bikers we fight for petrol - it'll be latte sipping greenies we need to go up against.

If they were reasonably priced, sure...but they're not, and they're nowhere near as practical as IC yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be a whole new market that we get forced into - short term will suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that. I'd buy a gtr before a tesla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world revolves on the internal combustion engine. The Earth spins because it formed in the accretion disk of a cloud of hydrogen that collapsed down from mutual gravity and needed to conserve its angular momentum. It continues to spin because of inertia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
