Will there come a day when your car is no longer a major expense, and fossil fuels are totally obsolete?

Question

Imagine if that were to happen one day? Imagine using your car every day and having it NOT be a major part of your budget. This would be because we have discovered some totally new source of energy that has rendered fossil fuels completely obsolete.

Will we see this one day?

Answer 1

obsolete? are you insane? look at gas prices! look at our dependency on foreign oil!

Answer 2

Wake up and smell reality.

We could have had technology like this YEARS ago.  The reason we don't is because the oil companies and the car companies don't WANT to research these areas.  They are making TONS of cash doing 'business as usual'.  Why would they want to change things?

Answer 3

Either that, or we use up fossil fuels without finding a substitute, and have to leave the cars sitting in the garage.

Answer 4

Or we burned up all the fossil fuels.
