the sad biker ◊ 2021-12-29 14:57	mike962 wrote idiotic, converting vintage vehicles to electric is just moronic In a couple of decades time, there won't be any fuel to put in them, so unless you want all vintage vehicles to be completely static displays, you might want to reconsider your opinion.
midnight ◊ 2021-12-29 15:30	Are you talking about a special type of fuel? It's more than a couple decades according to a Google search. There will probably always be untapped oil somewhere but its whether the cost of drilling/extracting it will happen.

The manufacture & use of electric vehicles is accelerating, as is environmental legislation, in a couple of decades time burning oil will be not just very difficult from a legislative point of view, much reduced demand will inevitably cause a reduction in availability and increased price due to a reduction in the economy of scale. It's possible the oil companies will diversify into cleaner sources of energy, probably hydrogen, but in the medium term, oil as a fuel for propulsion is on its way out.

Most contractors ( I work for a financing commercial company ) that are our customers will not use elclectric as the batteries constantly die and the technology just is not there for electric machinery. I will agree the future is promising for electric but what happens when there are blackouts and the grid goes down? US is teetering on the verge of a race/civil world war and whether that happens sooner or later time will only tell. I know I am prepared for whatever happens.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-12-29 16:34	Sad Biker, I don’t doubt that your comment is correct. No problem to legislate the use of petroleum fuel out of existence, huge problem to convert the existing infrastructure to allow for the “filling” of electric cars’ batteries every night. I know the capacity of the locality’s transformers and cables around my home, they are not up to every other house demanding a quick charge overnight, and as the cables are all approaching 70 years old not only are they lacking in capacity, they are not exactly new. I foresee a bag of rats shortly to be opened. -- Last edit: 2021-12-29 16:49:55
midnight ◊ 2021-12-29 16:39	dhill cb7 nothing like that is going to happen. It's not like there are thousands of people in slavery like in the Civil War, making that comparison doesn't make sense. A world war also won't happen for obvious reasons.
Gamer ◊ 2021-12-29 16:58	Agreed. The worst that's happened is that capitol riot back in January.
the sad biker ◊ 2021-12-29 17:28	JFS - If the senior execs at the oil companies have any sense at all, they have their best scientists working on alternatives to petrol and electricity, they must have twigged by now that their main product will soon be obsolete like lamp oil and photographic film. I see battery vehicles as a very short term (and short sighted) fix, not just because of the piss-poor infrastructure but also because of the rarity of some of the metals involved. dhill cb7 - let's hope that civil war doesn't happen, because if the orange fella is back in the Whitehouse, he's got his finger on the big red button, and is just dumb enough to use it on his own country.
mike962 ◊ 2021-12-29 18:36	this guy made very good points the petroleum industry is actually behind the electric cars as they make even more money off them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuiwXp4wH-4 -- Last edit: 2021-12-29 18:37:16
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-12-29 19:24	Sad biker, yes, no doubt, as the oil companies are, quite reasonably, driven by commercial and profit motives, but my point was that stupid knee jerk reactions from politicians can be put into action at the stroke of a pen, whereas sensible answers of any type will require time.
