With HYBRID cars getting 50-60 mpg, their batteries getting cheaper and cheaper (which will also help electric car sales), and FUEL CELLS coming online soon, the AY-RABS will be trying to sell their sand soon!

I was talking to Alan Cicconi of AC Propulsion a couple of years ago. He's not sure that hybrid cars are at the present time such a big advantage over conventional cars. He says if you made a lightweight car with a small gasline engine, aerodynamic streamlining and high pressure tires you could easily match the mileage of the Japanese hybrids (which in truth don't get the mileage advertised anyway).

Not a chance!
Can you say Big Oil.

There will always be a need for oil. There will be gears that will need to be lubricated, or else they will lock up.

Hardly anyone buys the cars, and fuel cells have been 'coming online' for 40 years (researchers at Tyco were working on them in the early 60's).

Oil will lose it's dominance by 2050, if not sooner.

It's had a great run, but enough's enough.
