Governments worldwide, as well as the automobile industry itself, seem hellbent on having electric vehicles replace gas and diesel-fueled cars by 2040, and are projecting that over two-thirds of global car sales will be electric by 2030. That is a mere 7 years away. Granted, a lot of things can change over that period, but currently, electric cars cost a fortune. Hopefully, between now and then, they will become more affordable. If not, only the lucky few will be able to afford a car, and for a majority of Americans, public transportation will be their only option. Good news for the RTD here in Denver and the CTA in Chicago, but not so great for people who need to go where buses fear to tread. Of course, I suppose horses and horse-drawn transportation could be a possible alternative, giving the future a 19th Century vibe. Perhaps it is time for today's college-bound students to think about careers in blacksmithing. That might soon replace software engineering as the career of choice for the future. You heard it here first!
