re: Economist Predicts Fossil Fuel Vehicles No Longer Sold In 8 Years

It took about 23 years for the Model T to replace the horse and buggy (depending on what you are looking at as start/finish points). Going from fossil fuel to electric isn't as dramatic a change as going from horse and buggy to a car so there's no real reason to expect the market to change that much in such a short amount of time.

Exactly, but its worth mentioning electric vehicles are not void of any carbon footprint...they barely emit less carbon emissions over the vehicle's lifespan than a fossil fueled vehicle.


I don't see this happening in the next 50 years. Maybe after 50 years.
