I agree with GZ that if Hydrogen was going to work, it should have by now on a bigger scale than it is. I get that they are meant to be safe but am I the only one who thinks of giant air balloons going bang on grainy black and white film footage!
I saw what you wrote about living life to the full GZ and I think that given the limited life span of petrol cars and what they bring I am making sure I get a chance at it whilst I can. EV will be plentiful in 20-30 years I can have a play with them then. So yes I am worried that petrol cars will be phased out as quite simply they sound better and give a better experience when going out for a drive (for me) I was sat behind an M5 on the A316 the other day and it was a theatre of sound coming out the back it was wonderful. I don't think I get angry at EV cars, they are whats really only on the table as a viable alternative at the moment to petrol, but I do not agree with the view that there will always be a plentiful supply of free electricity to power these at scale at the moment thats really not the case at all. I also worry about the future of car clubs if meets look like the one above, of generic looking identical family saloons
Funny someone mentioned back in the thread about trains - I think it could well be the same thing with cars, I have traveled on the bullet trains in Europe and Japan many times, tech marvels with astounding speed that blow your mind. But I also got on a steam train at the Thomas Tank Engine event and that was a better experience by far than the bullet train doing 180mph. In 40 years there will be a craving for people to get a ride in my noisy old petrol car I am sure
