- llukas 8y agoThis is enough time for companies to wind down their R&D + investments in internal combustion engines gracefully. If you want to spend money on ICE engines now you need justify how you get return in max 22 years.

I don't see why we need to pay with our health and our future for investor's short term thinking and greed.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoNo, it's enough time to allow it to be ignored by all significant manufacturers for at least another decade. Somewhere between 5 and 10 years would have had its challenges but would be achievable. It would have required the government to actually govern, but would have been "discouraged" by industry.
