Wrangeld Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-51366123 The UK goverment has brought forward its decision to ban new petrol or diesel cars from 2040 to 2035. That might seem a long way away, but that's just 15 years (the age of my current ride!). After that date ... who knows. All electric? Self driving? Looks like we should all enjoy the roar of a V8 while we still can, they are going to be a real rarity in a few years. Petrol Heads beware - no more gas after 2035 Edited February 5, 2020 by Wrangeld 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertdude Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Well you can't makes laws hoping that technology catches on and is cheap enough for everyone in the future. Might as well make a law that by 2050 there will only be flying cars 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well make a law that by 2050 there will only be flying cars I don't agree completely. By making laws you're basically putting a deadline on it. Some things never change if we are not forced too change. These deadlines ignites creative thinking. Humanity is able to do so many things but sometimes we lack the motivation. 1 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Lack of motivation is the least of it. What is also lacking is the money to build power generating capacity, and the infrastructure to distribute it. 2035?
