And how many people that were using a horse and buggy said they would be willing to pay for one of those new "automobile" things that were starting to appear? Survey results for emerging technologies like this are meaningless. With some marketing, consumer education, and -- most importantly -- positive word-of-mouth (which there's a lot of already), this market will take off (and I bet a lot faster and with much positive impact on society than automobiles). Until you experience it, you can't relate. Once you do experience it, you have to have it (and you never want to give it up).
