And, what do you have in mind?

The simple fact of the matter is that gasoline and diesel engines will continue to be
used for motive power for many hundreds of years.

They're simply unbeatably convenient to use in so many applications. They will
increasingly be complemented by other methods of course.

I think you're drastically overestimating their longevity. Carbon
limits are coming, oil supplies are dwindling,

Really ? Do tell more.


they're dirty, noisy, and complex,

They're not complex at all. Nor even particularly dirty.


and they're showing signs of end-game obsolescence --
hybrids, increasingly complex systems, etc. Once the storage problem
is solved, electric motors will come into their own, and that doesn't
appear to be too far away.

"Once the storage problem is solved" !!!!

Hmmm.....
