Back in ‘90, California MANDATED we’d all be driving EVs by 2000. Even 99% of libs here still don’t drive them.

The world shall be using energy from the burning of hydrocarbon fuels well into the 22nd Century, as a PRIMARY power source, am maybe even longer. We can do some pretty miraculous things with that old standby, coal, and so far as "renewable" energy goes, the earth's crust is constantly manufacturing new stores of energy as hydrocarbons, found at the Mohorovicic Discontinuity‎, the boundary between the earth's molten interior, and the stony crust above it. Plus one of the decomposition products of all organic material is in huge stores on the ocean floor, as natural gas trapped in something called Methane Hydrate, a most peculiar physical entrapment of methane in a water suspension. Fifty years from now we shall be mining this substance as a MAJOR energy source.
