You are preachin' to the choir. ;-)

Two things though; (1) remember the Hindenberg (boom!) and, (2) the
First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed (beware of little black boxes).

It seems that electric motors fueled by wind, water, Sun (and Earth
bound fusion) and, perhaps conventional, central, power plants where CO2
can be scrubbed from the smoke stack are the answer.

Personally, I don't need to go from 0 mph to 60 mph in 4 sec. So there
may be some adaptations we need to make but I think we can live with
that.

I've lived with 4 cylinder engines all my life.

0-60 in 4 seconds?

Why? puzzled look

It's a testosterone thing. Just put it in the pile of boy things that
you've never understood. For the most part, we don't understand them
either.

It's not all testosterone - I've enjoyed my turns in the big engines/lots of
cylinder cars that have graced friends and family. A gas to drive, but not
everyday. It's sort of like roller coasters. Love them, but not a steady
diet of them.
