Spain to Ban the Sale of All Gas-Powered Cars by 2040
- mtgx 8y agoThe sale of all gas-powered cars should probably be banned more like by 2030. I figure there will be plenty of cheap EVs by then. However, even these conservative policy roadmaps are helpful because at least they give a warning to the industry that they need to start developing and advancing EV tech right now and not wait another say 10 years to start.

- antibland 8y agoIf "too late" basically means the planet rapidly and inexorably tailspins into our global extinction, how is this better than nothing?
- mattzito 8y agoI think "too late" could mean "too late to avoid a massively destructive economic catastrophe" without meaning "global extinction".
