I hardly think that it's "fear" that has prevented them from repeating bad business decisions. It's intelligence.
I agree. Some of the first automobiles were electric, believe it or not. This is not a 'new' concept...but a perfect example of a developing technology over decades.

Personally...I believe the future is diverse. Many choices to be had...ultimately...like, 50-100 years from now, I firmly believe 100% of new vehicles will be electric. Be it battery-electric, range-extended electric, or Hydrogen Electric...our cars will be moved by electric motors.

I'm still a massive fan of algae-fuel, though...what better way to take the car out of the environmental "problem" than to integrate it into nature's cycle?
