The government should not ban gas-powered vehicles and force people to buy the "least reliable vehicle type", as California and other states are doing.
- inetknght 4y agoGas powered vehicles still have utility in rural areas. But in the suburbs and especially in the cities? EV is the least-worst option. Pedestrians, bicycles, and mass transit should be the focus in suburbs and cities.
- lowercased 4y agoAn increase in 'flex fuel' vehicles, and converting more household and commercial ICE to accomodate flex fuel (E85, etc) would provide a smoother transition. We collectively seem to have simply dropped any interest in this, despite having some infrastructure in place already, and burning cleaner than existing petrol.
- pwinnski 4y agoCalifornia's ban doesn't start for new vehicles for 13 years. That's a very long time in this context.
