The only reason for our recent H.P. sport/muscle car boom was because of the demand & still affordable. With the next doubling of world population, & less minerals/fuel/material availible, you can demand all you want, but powerfull EV's or GAS cars will be for the very few/very rich.... Get used to smaller/lighter/slower whatever & sardine type public transportation. Then again, with every crazy nation trying to get NUKES, there's a chance that wold's population may drop by a few billion. There would be plenty of cheap gas with only one billion people
