Well, once I pick out your flowery prose about tipping scales and low hanging fruit, I will just get to the heart of the matter.
There is still improvement to be made on the internal combustion engine. Overhead cams, multiple vales per cylinder, variable valve timing, and electronic fuel injection are but the tip of the iceberg. Bear in mind that internal combustion engines are a 3-way compromise. Performance, economy, and emissions all have to be balanced in order for an engine to be successful. I learned that in GM emissions school long ago.
Electric, on the other hand has its own demons to overcome. Battery technology heads the list. Another poster claims that battery technology has reached a dead end.

Government can mandate all they like, but in the end, the free market will make the decision. They can mandate when the sun will shine, but in reality, the sun will shine when and where it has always done and government cannot change it.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
