can't wait to hear the plan for switching Air Force One over to electric
ha, wait 'til all the electric bills start including road taxes, like the gas pumps do
collectors and many others will continue to hold on to them and expect to be able to use them....I don't see them being outlawed, but some idiot will try to tax the heck out of them
software companies are able to get away with no longer supporting legacy software that are too many revisions back, but I suspect that there will be quite an uproar, if all the folks with gas driven vehicles and engines are told the gas pumps are turned off

Just to add to that, banning gas fueled vehicles will destroy our economy and add millions to the poverty level. UNLESS of course, someone is willing to PAY for all those workers by providing electric cars for them. You can purchase a gas fueled car for as low as a few hundred bucks that will get you to work, but even in the future, a battery powered vehicle would cost more than many workers can afford. Even getting one with dead batteries would cost at least a couple thousand to replace the batteries. Heck, it costs over a thousand to replace the batteries in a golf cart.
I can also imagine folks lined up along the road at charging stations, just to get a hundred more miles on their thousand mile journey.
I am sure that battery powered vehicles will have a place in the future, but until they focus on a more viable substitute for fossil fuel power, there will not be a ban of oil in my future. I am sure that man will destroy itself way before we run out of fossil fuel.
