While we are at it, when do they make electric: trucks, Semi tractors, farm tractors, harvesters, dump trucks, road graders, airplanes, ships etc. For that matter, when do they come out with an electric RV motor home, or fifth wheel tow vehicle

Also what do they make oil derivatives from, or related components, such as tires, nylon, plastic etc. You know, the saline bags in the hospitals, surgical tubing. or for that matter aspirin and other pharmaceuticals. Do they make this out of (thin) air through a wind turbine or from solar panels.

I think I will keep my gas engines for a while, I can always get parts from the junkyard, sort of like how they kept 1950's vehicles running in Cuba. The alternative, which I would not prefer, if this is going to be come a third world country, may be to immigrate to a place like Brazil where Ford still makes real cars.

For trucks, Semi tractors,dump trucks and other large vehicles, I am interested in the Pickens Plan idea of wind harvesting producing compressed natural gas for use in those larger vehicles.

You ask about the oil derivatives products. Another good reason for not using up all our oil reserves. What will we make our plastics, etc from if our oil is used up in 60 years?

Because it doesn't make sense to have an electric harvester or a farm tractor. Do you really equate your city driven car with those vehicles? Sheesh --- everything has a place. And for inner city driving, an electric car is perfect. For a farm-tractor it doesn't make sense, and neither would it make sense to have a farm tractor to drive around LA.

Everything has it's place -- oil is needed, but where we can make do with other fuels or where other fuels make more sense, then why use oil? You like gas engines, fine, buy 'em. I guess you would be more of a petrol head like me who likes driving his bike and going off-roading. For those activities, the IC is good. But for me to get around the city I take public transport or walk or cycle. For each thing there is a purpose remember.
