2. As long as people drink booze, there will be fuel for (antique) internal combustion cars

Rejet the carbs (or remap the fuel injection) on any gasoline vehicle, and it will run nicely on backyard hooch.

No need to throw out the 16 valve DOHC engine in your 1913 Peugeot to keep it running for occasional vintage races, exhibitions, and fun runs - yes, the basic architecture of the "modern" IC engine has been unchanged for nearly 100 years.

Within 10 years, practically all new passenger cars will be plug-in hybrids. But, in the long run, EV and fuel cells are the way forward
