I've had this question in my mind for a long time and I've going to post it for comment from the group. The Question is what would our mod of transportation be like if the ICE were more expensive at the beginning of the transportation era. Would we have the storage for electricity that we are missing now? What refinements would have been invented using electric power instead of gas/diesel? We have almost always leaned to cost as the controlling factor in our lives instead of searching for the best alternatives for our needs. Could we now have conquered many other aspects and needs in our lives if we had not gone to the cheaper fuel? I don't know, but it's good food for thought in the future, and we are the future, all of us..
