How does the gasoline based engine fare in the ultra-corporate world of 2070?
This has been bugging me for days now. For us, oil and it's processed products are everywhere, but in the next 60 - 70 years, won't gas become far too expensive to use as wells need to reach deeper into the ground than ever before to pull it out? The meat of my question is this: are methods of oil extraction going to win out over new types of vehicle engines and generators? Perhaps this sounds like a strange question to ask, but I had a brief idea about sending my PC's on a run based on an offshore oil rig. However, if those rigs aren't being used, that changes the game a lot. |

Gas cars are still around, have at it!
For even more kicks, have it be one that hasn't been updated in a long long long time. Decker: I can't find its wireless signal anywhere, they've got some top notch security here! Sammy: What if I just turn this knob.... Oh look, that did it. Decker: *glare* |
