A 1965 prediction that dinosaur fossils would be found in Antarctica would have been pretty good. Can you supply a link to your post?

I didn't predict hydrogen/electric cars would be common in 5 years, but gas/electric. The 42 volt battery is not really a prediction, it is almost a done deal for cars in a couple of years. BMW is already committing to it. The AC, power steering, water pump, etc., will each be run by an electric motor, thus doing away with belts and increasing efficiency. Eventually an electric motor will be part of the wheels, doing away with the transmission. These will be steps on the way to a totally electric car, with a methane fuel cell increasing range.

I'm glad you have publicly said that I am wrong. I will consider your request for forgiveness when the time comes. A cold fusion car will not happen.
