As I said the internal compustion automobile hasn't changed in 100

I think the point is that while the basic operating principles of the internal combustion engine haven't changed, the efficiency and reliability of it has dramatically increased in those 100 years.

Solar energy hasn't been cost effective in the past, and is just starting to become an alternative now. If enough advances are made to its efficiency and reliability (longivity) in the next few years, it could become an attractive option. Same for electric cars, etc. Technology marches forward, just sometimes slower than we'd like.

A cite for Loogie please. The rest of us get it.

No, what you and your fellow anti-technology brethren don't "get" is the
fact that all technology wasn't really viable in the beginning. But, if
we were like you on the right are today, we'd still be rubbing sticks
together to produce fire.

Good **** gets invented. Bad **** gets invented. ****heads can't tell
the difference.
