The future of the automobiles… yesterday!
Yeah, turbine engines for cars ended up not making sense, and probably never made sense. Certainly not in a world where gasoline was fairly cheap and environmental regulations demanding. If the world allowed for the economic use of, say, vodka or wax as a fuel, and didn’t give a damn about what came out your tailpipe, then, sure. But that’s not the world. And unless some major advancements are made in turbine powered electrical generators, meaning you could put a *small* turbogenerator in your electric car to top up your batteries by pouring a mix of old turpentine and a case of Schlitz into the tank… the turbine engine will likely remain inappropriate for automobiles.
