Future of Gas Transport

Have you imagined a world with out a gas powered car, truck, plane, train, ship or any other form of transportation?

I feel this maybe sooner then imagined. I am speaking totally of my opinion and not solid facts, just observations.

For example we are seeing this everywhere and all over the world that the oil is running thin and resources are drying up. We are also seeing the demand for oil is through the roof. We are paying huge prices at the pump for gas all the time. And as a direct result everything is affected by these same oil prices and the limitations of oil.

A perfect example is the “Loaf of Bread”. Everything from the Dirt to your mouth is affected by the oil.

1^st is the Farmer the “dirt” the Farmer Puts gas in his tractor to till the soil and prep the ground for seeding. The Same farm may use two, three, or more machines to till the ground, Plant the seed, fertilize, and spread pesticides.*

*All of this also requires fuel as well to purchase the seed, the fertilizer, and pesticides.

In a few months the same farmer will Harvest the wheat, and prepare this raw material for processing.

2^nd is the Manufacturing process. So the trucks pick up the wheat and take this material to the processing planets to produce flour for the bread. The same processing planet will then ship by train or truck to the bakery or markets.

3^rd the Bakery will then user their vehicles or has other companies deliver all the other ingredients to produce the bread. Once the ingredients have been mixed and the bread packages and again the product are shipped to the markets, bread stores and groceries.

4^th You may get into your car and drive the store and purchase said bread and drive home to make a nice PBJ.

So all together you simple sandwich had gone an expensive journey. This is the reason bread is so expensive compared to the prices of the early days before the increasing high gas prices. Every person along the way has added in the cost for fuel in that bread and the expense has been passed down from 
Farmer ->Processor->Barker->Market->You

So what does this all have to do with the retirement of gas vehicles? Well in my life time I have seen the electric cars on the market for many years and never were they ever promoted or pushed, but rather they were held back bad the oil companies, investors, auto makers and the government. But now because the Far East has so much control of the oil and the prices this has had a direct effect on our economy. Now all of a sudden the push for electric powered cars is in full swing.

There are many maker of the car and most are still too pricey for the average Joe to purchase. There will almost always be those “die-hards” that like their gas cars. I like my gas car as well. By have you seen some of these Electric cars that are coming out in the next few months? Like Tesla; this to me is a game changer for the auto industry. This car is a mean machine. No only does it get from 0-60 in less than 6 seconds. But you can travel 300 miles on the optional upgrade battery pack. You can transport 7 people in this car. This is a sweet looking car to boot. 

  

The price is just about the only thing stopping me from going electric.

This same company is also producing a van/suv that is 100% electric.

With this minor adjustment in the transportation industry, you soon see Stores, malls, businesses, schools, and pretty much all places you go and park your car. These places will then have charging stations provided for you to “charge-while-you-shop”. Before long the technology will be so advanced that you will be able to get that same bread for a lot less. Or at least minus to fuel costs. The cool thing would be to see a Jet that is powered solely by electricity. Trains in Japan are for the most part all powered by electricity.
