I,m not talking about world hunger or learning to tolerate ourselves . I,m referring to the elimination or at least minimising the use of the internal combustion engine . It seems to me that things are hotting up ! An exponential effect caused by free enterprises grasp of the reality they better get on the band wagon before their ship sails . (That is proabably the worst mixed metaphor since time began )
From those personal two wheel gyro scooters to multi-wheeled speed ships the electric motor is coming of age . About time I say cause its going to be a thing of the past soon enough .
Just eliminating the brakes on motors is a great thing . It proabably reduces consumption by at least ten percent directly and more than that in spin off applications . There will be a telling effect in the automotive industry Big business does tend to slough off workers it no longer needs in situations like this
Lighter frames and simpler construction will lead to a drop in employment .
I just hope the elimination of the near embargo on electric vehicles will lead to other innovations to employ us . We are learning to harness different forms of energy and realising ways to better use that which we have .
Who knows maybe even nuclear power will go the way of the dinosaurs though I hear they want to bring those things back ! (Personally when I hear they want to bring old T-Rex back I start flexing my bow muscles ! )
