Petrol and diesel cars to be phased out within 20 years?

@Carryfast. “They searched and they said zb that and ran off to the nearest used car sales outlet to ditch the depreciating, increasingly worthless diesel for a petrol motor.While moaning about the opportunist price increases at the pumps after the ‘fuel shortages’ ended when the government saw they weren’t having the desired effect.As opposed to totally crashing the economy given another 3 or 4 weeks of it.
5-10 years time is going to look a bit silly when fossil fuel prices have reduced to the point where India and China are a fossil fuel consumers’ paradise like the US was in the 1960’s, while electric only goes north of 26p per kwh + those inconvenient taxes for the mug westerners who’ve swallowed the CO2 cooked Venus narrative.
Until a nuclear power station goes rogue in a big way.That will be the final nail in this scam.”

Norway are to ban new ICE vehicles in 2025 five years sooner than the UK & reading the reports from there they reckon the last new ICE vehicle could be sold this year three years early :open_mouth: The sales of new ICE have fallen off a cliff & it’s said it’s not worth the car importers time importing low numbers of new ICE vehicles into the country. I saw a Norwegian youtuber say the price of once expensive flagship German diesel cars are dropping rapidly in price there & people are looking at exporting them to other countries to get a better price for them. motor-no.translate.goog/aktuelt … o=nui,elem

Yep major oil and gas exporter Norway.While imposing punitive fossil fuel taxation at home.
Diesels are worthless everywhere nothing to do with EV’s but the realisation that the downsides of diesels are more than their 30% fuel efficiency advantage is worth.
If everyone wants an EV why would the governments need to impose punitive penalties and quotas to stop the sale and purchase of fossil fuelled ICE powered vehicles.
The truth is few if any want this scam and even less voted for it.
