I think time will fix some of this, which of course doesn't counter what you're saying. An example, how many decades of natural gas use were there, before we purposefully made it smelly? We've had more than a century of improvements to ICE cars, to learn how to make them safer. And even how to make safety systems and methods more cost effective. The issues with Pintos exploding upon being rear-ended, resulted of course in fixes, etc. So I do wonder what will, eventually, come of battery tech. Say.. 40 years from now, or some such. I imagine it will be much, much safer. We certainly try to prevent such disasters, but it seems we're also commonly having an issue, people almost or sadly do die, and then we fix that problem. Edit: Googled, curious. Wow. https://www.gasodorizer.com/gas-odorization-history/ New London School Explosion ... The explosion left behind a collapsed building, with as many as 295 deaths. As a result of the disaster, the United States and Canada began regulating the use of odorants in gas. This is the sad way it is, often. Everyone will say "Oh, it's fine!", sometimes with logic, sometimes with a desire to not accept the potential risk, thus feeling safer, and then a massive disaster occurs. My guess would be some sort of global warming induced flooding event, with salt water, as a key for many cars at once going BOOM! |
