60 mile manifesto


This is what will happen.
Oil will become ever more precious. And it will go to he who can pay the most. Which means you won't get any. So driving will get more expensive and soon you will find yourself latched to a 60 mile electric car. And this will be fine.

You will drive where you need to go. And squeeze it past 60 sometimes and maybe stop to charge your battery just long enough to make it home. Or perhaps your car will be cranked into the air so a guy with greasy hands can slip in a battery in the time it took to fill your old gas guzzler.

60 miles means you can't live 60 miles from where you go everyday. You will choose the fast easy way to work. It will be obvious.

But you can go more than 60 miles if you really want to. And since people will live close to their work cities won't pour all over the place. So you will get out of the city faster. And the world will get bigger and things will open up. Which means more will be yours.



And maybe with some solar panels on the roof, and a lighter design, you will get it to 70.
