It's been shown before that development of electric cars have been held back by oil companies. I imagine once it becomes imminent that oil will run out they will rapidly develop consumer friendly electric cars. |
Actually the development of new ways to fuel cars is more held back by the car industry. They don't want to make the massive investments needed to create these new motors.
Most Oil comapnies have the official opinion that it's a waste to use oil for car fuel. They can sell their product to the chemical industry and electricity producers anyways and also airplane fuel and shipfuel won't change anytime soon.
