Say goodbye to gasoline...

http://www.teslamotors.com/

You may have heard of it already, and it is here. If not, go to the link above. These people have created what will become the end of gasoline vehicles. They have created a sports car that is 100% electric, and faster than nearly anything on the road. They are taking all the money they get from selling these sports cars, and they are putting it into creating an affordable mass market version of the car. This will most likely prompt all the major automakers to come up with there own version very soon.
To me this makes the cars we are driving around look like Dinosaurs. It makes me ask why. It seems like we should have been driving electric cars 50 years ago. The problem was rechargeable battery technology, which has now caught up to the point that this is possible.
Within the next 10 years our cars will be obsolete. All I can say about that is... goodbye, and good riddance. The internal combustion engine belongs in a museum, and will soon be there.
