Nope, the way we do things will change over time, just like it has done
countless times before, as what was previously the best way to do
things is no longer and we move on to a better way of doing things.

That wont be electric cars for enough to matter, you watch.

There are certainly plenty of fools that would like to see that.

It isnt going to happen tho, you watch.

Have a look at where EVERY SINGLE TECHNOLOGY since the industrial
revolution has come from. And plenty of other dramatic advances like
vaccination and the human genome project etc as well.

Then have a look at what those fools who would like to see the US and the
Western
World fall entirely into the Third World have managed to produce
themselves and
even you should be able to grasp how completely irrelevant those fools
are.
