OK. So, are we all cool with eventually getting away from the internal combustion engine? It sounds like most of us accept that cars will eventually be powered by something else, solar, batteries, hydrogen, air.
I accept that there is an argument this will be for the greater good. However, I want exhaust noise and clutch dust and supercharged small blocks that sounds like a cat getting sucked down the toilet. (I love cats btw). I know that I may not see it in my lifetime. But I'm not comfortable with the thought of the IC engines going away (regardless of the fuel they burn). Doesn't seem like a performance car without it. I've seen video of electric cars that absolutely FLY. So I admit it's not a performance issue. It's a seat of the pants (pucker factor) thing.
Anyone?
Edit:
One more thought on corn farming - Isn't there still a large portion of corn farmers getting Gov subsidies for not planting corn? if they removed the subsidy and started planting again would it make that much of a difference?
