Ten years from now we’ll have four sets of portable transport technology competing against each other for space in the world’s transport systems. Internal combustion gasoline. Internal combustion natural gas. Fuel Cell cars. Electric cars.
This will set off a fantastic world wide competition between the four transport technologies to reduce their costs to stay in the game.
Who will be the beneficiaries of this vast competition?
Guess.
Why, the Friends of Congress and the President, of course.
Certainly those will be the principal beneficiaries.
Ideally, the public will be the primary benefactor from a real competition between the different systems, with economic votes, called dollars, determining the eventual victor.
In the real world, as with the Net Neutrality vote yesterday, regulators will be bought and paid for, and will place obstacles in front of some, but not other, options, making the winner a choice made by 3 people, based on who gives the biggest bribes.
We should have been putting heads on pikes years ago.
