Yea sunaks change doesn’t matter, bigger markets already have full ev rules by x date and Nissan (and others) have aligned their business to meet those. Likely at costs of tens of billions in r&d and factory retooling, they aren’t going to switch back to ICE because the UK pushed their date by a few years

Especially when the party who are massively ahead in the polls have said they'll reintroduce the 2030 ~~when~~ if they get elected.

I care, they are a solution to the pollution caused by cars burning gas.

Dumb dumb dumb.

"Hospitals to enact rule compelling doctors and surgeons to wash hands."

"Who cares? That won't get rid of all bacteria and viruses existing, just reduce infection rates and improve the entire healthcare industry."

Not sure how that would work if your job involves traveling, or you live in a rural area (in countries like Australia, we're not dense). Also, we have plenty of real estate, so Solar is actually very doable.

That being said, here in Melbourne, there has been a lot of emphasis on improving transport recently (they're getting rid of most of the railway crossings, building some new rail links, approving scooters for public use, new bike lanes and such). Governments are working on reducing reliance on Automobiles already in a lot of countries

It’s better than literally nothing but not great, yes

Our entire cities are built wrong for that approach. I'm with you on the spirit, I mean, building suburban sprawl post-2000 should be a literal crime with jail time. But the fact is that our cities are what they are. Suburbia is built for cars, and there's a crap load of it that people will still be living in post-2030.

But but but remote combustion vehicles are going to get us to net zero.

The religion of insanely expensive remote combustion vehicles is pure entertainment gold
