Terrible take.
Solid state batteries will get figured out well before useful non-polluting chemical fuels, rocketing BEVs beyond ICE’s wildest dreams.

The only benefit of ICE over BEV is quick refueling, and that only matters if you’re roadtripping.
The solution is fast-charging BEVs. Edmunds just released a roundup of EV charging times, and showed that with some Hyundais/Kias, you can get 100 miles of range juiced up in 7-8 minutes. Obviously, yes, that’s still slower than dumping some dead dinos in your gashole and taking off, but it’s still pretty quick.
With further technological refinements over time and infrastructure built to give you something to do during 15-20 minute charges, road trips will be perfectly feasible without ICE and will actually probably be more pleasant.
PGMOL gonna PGMOL.
It wasn’t always, but 4chan trolls tried to make media outlets believe that it was a “white power” symbol (with the three fingers held up representing a “W” and the thumb-forefinger circle + wrist/arm representing a “P”). They succeeded a little too well, and so not only did media outlets report on it, but racist groups saw that reporting and went “dang, Cletus, we should start doin’ that!”
So what started as a stupid joke has actually manifested itself.
So you start with this, but then…
Why do you think we’re magically going to find zero emission chemical fuels but aren’t going to make solid state batteries? I mean, aside from your being a pretty obvious fossil fuel stooge?
