As of 2002, there are over 590 million passenger vehicles in use which are utilizing combustion engines.  There are also millions of other combustion engines being utilized in places other than passenger vehicles.  If a new technology emerges which will clearly replace combustion engines, the price of oil will not collapse.

It will take some number of decades to replace the existing hundreds of millions of combustion engines currently in use and for that period of time oil, and it's derivatives, will still be in demand (and always will be to some extent).  Thus the price of oil will be supported and will not go into freefall.  In this instance, oil would probably see a slow decline in price as demand decreases, but this may not even be so given that the capacity to produce oil is changing as the planet follows the peak oil production curve.

I respectfully disagree. Mr. Heins' device (if it works as it appears) is not simply an incremental leap over existing engine technology. It's the scientific equivalent of magic.

The change would come faster than you can possibly imagine -- and it would rock every political power structure.

Kent1 you are definately not preaching to the choir overhere   [thane you go boy] Chet

Chet, I am not attempting to dissuade Mr. Heins from his endeavor. If he's found the energy "fountain of youth," then I salute him for his discovery and courage.

I'm just proposing that if this thing is really what it's purported to be, that it will change the face of civilization -- and that circumstance has certain inherent risks which are potentially hazardous to one's health.

Perhaps my opinion is wrong...  It's happened before! LOL. .

Touche! I admire your openness and sense of humor.

PS. Can I buy a couple shares of your company (shamelessly hedging my bets)?
