Luckily we have lived in the golden age.

Big call, personally I think it will take longer than that. All the alternatives so far proposd have issues of one kind or another and are not ready for mainstream, and I don't think 20 years will fix that.
Rather I think engines will keep getting more efficient and alternative fuels will gain ground - but still combustion engine type fuels.

Electric - needs batteries which are problematic and these cars enviromental impact from the manufacturing process is much higher than current vehicles
Hydrogen fuel cells - promising technology but hydrogen is dangerous and difficult to store, plus these have been around for ages and show no signs of becoming common so far.
Others - all still too new and experimental to really know what's going to happen

Add to that the need to totally overhaul the worlds electricity supply if cars go electric and the fact that many countries burn fossil fuls to produce it meaning there is no real advantage for now. I don't doubt these problems will be overcome but 20 years seems way too optimistic to me.

1261625 2012-02-26 22:52:00 this thread reminds me of Denis leary
"You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a God-damned thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why!"
