Car firms know this, hence why we are all not driving round in elec cars or anything of the green ilk, When there really is 30 years left of oil then you will be paying 10 quid a litre at the pumps  |
...but just because the oil is there, does it mean that car manufacturers shouldn't (or shouldn't be forced) to develop electric technologies?
to me, using decayed dinosaur & plant matter to get from A to B seems a bit stupid, not to mention damaging to the only planet we have.
don't get me wrong, I love the sound that comes out of the pipes of my bikes and my kart. but we are totally at the mercy of the oil companies at the moment and it's because no one wants to upset the status quo.
show me a fully electric / fuel cell car that will deliver a 200 mile range with 70mph cruise capability & a price within 50% of a fossil fuelled equivalent, and I'll show you my chequebook
