[QUOTE="DavidWG, post: 223605, member: 3145"] Yep I expect fossil fuels will be the major energy source for most of OUR remaining lives but that is a relatively short period. I suspect that even then we will still see lots of specialty vehicles still using gasoline into the future just like we still see massive fleets of sailboats used for recreational purposes all over the world and major racing events including circumnavigations using sail power. But I predict that in 50 years there will be a dramatic reduction in the use of fossil fuels. In the short run it is very hard to predict. I am still holding investments in the oil industry but am getting tired of looking at them decline year after year for the past 5 years. My grandfather who was a fisherman all his life used to tell me about the difficult and emotional transition that he and his brother had to make as they moved their fishing boats from sail power to gasoline engines all within his 50+ year work life.
