16. "RE: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars?"
In response to message #14

And that really is the problem for the large-scale adoption of any alternative fuel/power source, the ubiquity and utility of petroleum-based fuels. The infrastructure that is built up around the extraction, transportation, distillation, and distribution of petroleum and the substances made from it is the work of decades of investment and innovation. Replacing it all is not going to be an overnight process, is not going to be cheap, and is going to happen in ways that will require us to change how we view and use our cars. It actually says a lot that there's more research money and time put into renewable methods of creating hydrocarbon fuels than there is into replacing them altogether. Though, I suppose if we wanted to totally wean ourselves off gasoline, we could pull out and dust off those plans for nuclear-powered cars. I'm thinking of naming mine "Tsar Bomba." --------------------------
