"... notice ... that several major nations are ... phas(ing) out of gasoline powered automobiles . . . in this century. Goodbye overseas markets for US gas-powered cars!  ..."  {shrug}  See "Tesla".  I would be amazed to see a gasoline-powered ICE in wide commercial use by the end of this century (if I were to live so long).   20 years from now, likely most personal vehicles will be electric (mayhap powered by induction coils in the roadbed) or powered by fuel cells.  In the meantime it won't be surprising to see electric/IC hybrids, running on dimethyl ether.  (The modern diesel engine, I understand, can be easily adapted to use DME.)

You should regard all that as Good News - fossil fuels going away through technological progress (as they likely would have anyway, without government encouragement, because they are getting harder to find and more expensive to produce).

Some folks, oddly, seem to think we'd stay stuck at 1985 levels of tech without AGW alarmism.  Why is that?
