As these companies get closer and closer to a cheap mass produced zero emission automoblie do u think that It will mean the end (or at least great decline) of the premium price (in money and in lives) that we put on oil?
The Us already has a decent amount of oil within its borders ...im no expert but i would imagine that if all gasoline needs (at least for single person autos) were eliminated...then the vast majority of the imported oil we import woudl no longer be needed.
What do u think? How will the secret societies control us then?
peace

Electric cars (not hybrids) will be impracticle for a long time yet. Battery technology has been very slow to evolve. Batteries remain expensive and have a limited capacity to provide enough power to your typical car for any kind of distance/duration. After that, you have to recharge them which takes several hours at minimum. Imagine having to hang out at a Gas/Energy station while your car fills up on electrons.

You'll need to power your power plants to provide energy for the cars somehow though. If no one drove cars then I guess they'd just use the oil for that instead.
Until some boffin works out controlled nuclear fusion then we'll still be relying on oil imo. While it lasts.
The only time I see cars switching from any use of petroleum or even below half what they use now, it'd be when we'd facing a serious crisis if we didn't.
Humans aren't big on preventative maintanance.
... Or rather, Big Oil isn't.
The statement below is the truth.
The statement above is a lie.
As has been demonstrated in California there is a shortage of power.
Relying on said power to get you around via cars would mean that you'd have to contend with such events as what occured during the gas shortages of the American past.

While ultimately a fantastic idea there is no way bush would let anything that would take profits away from his oil hogging cronies, out onto the market, or invest any amount of cash to find more enviromentaly friendly methods of transports...
Purely electric cars are a ways off but gas/electric hybrids are in production already and give insane fuel economy... unfortunately i cant quote the exact numbers. I'm sorry though, You will have to threaten me with death to get me to drive an electric automobile. I like my cars to actually have power. Maybe that makes me an uncaring redneck son of a bitch, but so be it. I aint driving no RC car.
Way back in the day there was this radical named Henry Ford who believed that you could run cars on alcohol. Guess what? You can. However, thanks to political wrangling by oil companies to get gov't to tax the hell out of them, the American public never sold off on the idea.
