ICE Vehicles Will Be Around A Little Longer

[AzScorpion]

It looks like the US demand for for oil and gas is likely to remain remarkably steady for decades. Even in todays latest report by an independent government agency which projects it will be around for decades. Maybe they're finally realizing that EV's are going to take longer to catch on and compete with ICE?

In fact, the 2023 Annual Energy Outlook from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) finds that U.S. oil production may even increase between now and 2050 even as clean energy sources like wind and solar power increase dramatically as well.

The analysts say that U.S. demand for oil and gas is likely to remain remarkably steady for decades and “we expect U.S. production to remain at historically high volumes as exports of finished products grow,” said Angelina LaRose, EIA Assistant Administrator for Energy Analysis, during a session Thursday around the release of the report.

The EIA is an independent government agency that prepared this week’s report without the input of the White House or other officials like Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Their predictions have also been echoed by outside experts in recent months, but Thursday's release marks an official government acknowledgment of the widespread expectation that U.S. oil and gas production isn’t likely to wane anytime soon.

Sadly my first thought was "by then I'll be dead or to old to drive".

I always loved the Jetsons. ?

We are getting closer to George Jetson cars! The Moller Skycar M400 is a real thing. I've seen it in person back in the early 1990's. I don't know if it has ever gone beyond tethered test flights, but it was an incredible sight to see sitting there in Moller's building.

You had me at 331 mph

Yeah, but you'll pay for it:

In limited production (500 units per year) the M400 Skycar® will sell for a price comparable to that of a four-passenger high performance helicopter or airplane, approximately $500,000.

If they ever do get to real production, it will be interesting to see....

I don't think Dr Moller was able to raise the $ to produce more than the prototype. He's in his mid 80's now, so I expect this will be a dream that never comes true for him.
