[QUOTE="Isomade, post: 807559, member: 13135"] Everyone has an opinion, and that is fine. At the end of the day it is all speculation. I strongly believe that the electric automobile will have an impact on fuel prices. I do not think they will be "the end all be all" but will certainly have an impact. I jet set quite a bit. I spend time in a lot of big cities, and have observed the popularity growth of the electric car. There are two that I know of in my small home town. In the streets of San Diego they are very common. When, not if, but when they go 300 or more miles on a charge I will have one. That will be in the next 5-10 years. I put over 60,000 miles per year on a vehicle, that is a lot of fuel. Yes it will still take fuel to power the electric plant, but even Caustic, who know considerably more about fuel prices than I, can tell you that it takes considerably less fuel to convert electric energy than it does to power a fuel engine. Others have talked about hydrogen powered technology. My father-in-law is one of the best mechanics I have ever known. He uses hydrogen technology to increase the fuel mileage of his vehicles. He has a 1992 Chevy with a 350 engine that averages 36mpg. I have been keeping up with the advances in electric cars for the last four years, I don't just make assumptions from watching a tv show. I don't like the way things are heading any more than the rest of you, but I refuse to stick my head in the sand, sell my cattle, and say we are all doomed! And Caustic I haven't gotten just $550 for a calf in over a year. The calves I pulled off of first calf heifers at 5-6 months of age last week averaged $675. [/QUOTE]
