Petrol and diesel powered machines are apparently terminally ill. Legislators, politicians and government heavyweights in Europe and other places worldwide have established a timeline for the eradication of such beasts.
Environmentalists have won, but, I will not find a river to mate my tears with its load. Petrol-heads will not be denied their fix. So if electric-powered machines, hybrid machines, ‘green-fuel’ etc are ingredients which will shape machines in the future, I am willing to rely on the genius who is possibly in a backyard somewhere.
That unknown rebel with a cause will do his very best to ensure that despite the fact that we are embracing all that is good to protect the environment, as we should, performance will be optimized to the nth degree despite the source that fuels the machine!
If you have doubts I will remind you of machines that already exist which reshaped all we thought we knew about performance machines.
