Doesn't sound like a problem that's worth trying to resolve at compile time through the type system to me. You complicate the common case for a relatively minor benefit. In Zig I think you can get 99% of the benefit by setting up

Nobody is talking about banning existing cars, so the 50-60y timeline is irrelevant for this discussion. Some cities are considering banning non-EVs from the core though. There’s some talk of trying geofencing tech that would allow hybrids

Doesn't much of these sulfur emissions disperse and break down before it reaches land when they're out to sea? There's already a lot of activity to reduce emissions when ships are near land. In Norway there's a big push

It doesn't melt though. In fact mass timber is relatively resistant to fire, possibly better than steel. If I remember correctly, the surface chars and becomes a relatively good insulator of heat, so the core preserves its strength.
