I also think war will become more obsolete and harder to wage. And again, what will we fight over?

BROWNIES

But what about airplanes? Again, I don't know much about hydrogen engins but I'm really doubting that they could get a plane up in the air.

you can't be that naive, we were fighting over bullshit long before oil was discovered.....

Planes are interesting. The hardest work a plane does is take off, flying in the air is a piece of piss and relatively conservitive when need be. The only factor is the sheer weight that the commercial ones have. It certainly wouldn't be like a glider, it would require some power to keep it aloft. I doubt solar would ever be considered, you could cover the entire plane in panels and it'd still plummet to the ground.

Yeah. Land.

But the modern world seems to know it's territory boundaries fairly well now. I doubt wars will be a big idea in the future. Not only is it too expensive these days but the public eye holds much more power these days and in this day it is fairly fundamental for a government to gain the publics support on such matters.

We were but that was empire building in an uncivilized world that was unaware of cultural diffrences, I don't think it will be the same idea.

Honestly, aside from people not being able to tool around in their cars ont he first day of warm weather (which I admit was kid of fun when i drove), but I don't see what the good side of gasoline is.

I don't know whats wrong with bikes, the lack of ambulance and fire service will be felt.

You obviously don't travel much

I have a hard time believing that we cannot fuel a vehicle on pinto beans and Pabst Blue Ribbon. Gives me gas like a MUTHAFUKKA
