Simply put, a more efficient car will be an environmental disaster as induced demand will inevitably creep in to increase our total energy consumption even as per capita consumption decreases.

It is very abundant. If I find those articles again, I will post links here.

But it is conceivable, unless currently unknown underground reserves are found somewhere, that we could reach a day where people remember “a time when the world had an element called Helium.” Yikes. -------------------- Don't worry, there is *plenty* of helium in the lunar 'dirt'. It's been accumulating from billions of years of solar wind. It even has a lot of He-3, which might be very useful for fusion power. Of course, we will have to go to the moon, mine it, and transport it back to Earth... think of the helium as a prize for the Group with the best spaceships and mining systems. #15
