In the beginning there was the internal combustion engine, and it was pretty good. Moved the world, gave us motorsport and ice-cream vans, and only the slight drawback that it depends on a finite resource which it burns inefficiently with poisonous and planet-harming consequences. And so, with trust in diesel (unfairly) in the basement and the assumption that after a century of development, the petrol engine"s time was done, the world concentrated on digging up bits of the Periodic Table to make batteries for electric and hybrid cars. And banning combustion engines from future cities. Most of the world, that is. Except Mazda.
