I have to say that "white elephant" alternative fuel idea not so much...I believe it has to do with lack of interest and money more so. even most oil companies are exploring alternative fuels well not so much exxon but whatever. things such as Bio diesel, veg oil, electric, hydrogen, even propane is better then gasoline, governemts are supporting it, car companies are as well, theres now low speed electric trucks for around the city that emit no pollutants, in use, hybird taxis in van, electric buses used for eons, natural gas buses emit less pollutans and greenhouse gases , damn i could go on and on and as for gas prices now...go to fort mcmurray for a while, they make 35 an hour up thier as a labourer....on the rigs....theres lots of middle men between the gas and your car aswell, its kinda like a vicious circle, you know...anyhow, imma gonna go i've ranted enough, i hope this makes sense to people oh, and remember your skate wheels, remember there made from OIL and your bearing lube, and the the whole skate needed to be shipped, oil impregnated slide pucks...anyhooo

the masses won;t change in time..cars will get smaller, but the inrfrastucture thats inplace will remain the same, public transit is great for any city, but trucking, farming, lawnmowers, production...its alot more then people geting around....but meah, roll on

therefore the infrastructure will remain realtivly the same, and the same demands will be met.. its how the mechanisms work that will change drastically ....ie electric cars, hydrogen, hybrids, electric trucks..
