I can't imagine you believe this isn't a long way off - but perhaps you do. I have no reason to not have the same hope as you may be describing.
As per usual though, my comments are made in the interest of what is realistically doable and not what could, should, or may be.

no i'm not seeing much different than you. it's all a matter of profitability and they don't see it as profitable otherwise it would have been started already.
having seen the increase from the 70's mileages of 7mpg to 30+ seemed impossible, but since the infrastructure was already in place the incentive was the continue to develop the combustible engine into something more efficient was much more palatable than overhauling the whole thing.
Looking at the conversion of television to HDTV is probably the only mandate. It is painful for both the consumer and media provider. We'll see with this same kind of impact where the infrastructure needs to be changed vastly in order to facilitate the vehicles that ride on it.
