Yeah, in 30 years there should be hydrogen fuel cell cars. 30 years after that everyone will laugh at those of us who loved the "cromagnon" internal combustion engine cars! Didn't we know we were messing the world up for them to clean up?? Hey, kids, we really didn't have a lot of choice!! I mean gas was cheap, alternatives expensive. And until gas hits the $4-$5 a gallon mark, IC engines and gasoline (or deisel) will be the best "bang for the buck" (nice pun, just fell right in!).
