Rudolphs Diesel and the energy density inherent with liquid hydro carbon fuels aren’t going away. At the same time, smart people are making great strides with other technologies. The average age on this forum is about 65 years old I would guess. It may make for good internet banter, but the reality is our opinions are irrelevant on this subject. Younger people and future generations will decide how this plays out, not us. BTW, complaining about oil companies and their “profiteering” is a bit rich coming from people who have such strong opinions on anything green. Big oil has been hammered and their stock prices have been in the dumps for years, until recently when things finally turned for them. They are returning a lot of their cash back to shareholders and provide good jobs for many people for a fluid that we need for every day life and the products we use. Funny to hear people complain about paying $5/gal for a refined product when a 12 oz can of pop costs a couple bucks.
