Contrary to what some may think, I wasn't raging against the electric car, I was just pointing out that the future of mass production and mass sales of the electric car, are farther away they people think. The IEA predicts that natural gas and oil sales will continue to grow for the next forty years, and one would expect a continuing demand for the gas combustion engine. Forty or fifty years out anything can happen, but at least 20 % plus of the population won't be around to see if the predictions are correct. As always the market will be driven by price, demand and performance.
