fossil fuels

[nibot]

Supposing that we have already passed the time of peak oil production, my question for you is this: in what year will we see fewer cars on California roads than in the previous year?

At what point will the Interstate Highways be fossil roads, abandoned relics, like the decaying steel towns of Pennsylvania, like the Erie Canal?

When will Phoenix be Detroit?

Or will someone invent the coal-powered car and doom us all? (The plug-in Prius actually burns coal.)

Fusion is, of course, the ideal source of power.

Except that we have to start acting now to keep CO2 concentrations below around 450 ppm, and all the technologically great options like fusion and hydrogen fuel cells for cars are decades behind.
