at first i was thinking i wish this could automatically be sent to EV drivers and the policymakers pushing for blanket combustion engine bans, then realised it wouldn't make a difference, i can imagine the inner monologue "oh who cares what's happening over there when i look clean over here",(reply>), exactly, do we lose the entire world or just a few small areas of it.,(reply>), @Saf <br>How can you ship goods across a Continent without diesel?<br><br>Battery power can't replace it.<br><br>Not in less than 100 years. <br><br>Not enough rare earth metals.,(reply>), @Warmaster 7 that will also happen inadvertently, as demand decreases the cost to make will increase, it will make the things petrolheads like into a premium,(reply>), They can't ban the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).<br><br>Even if they wanted to.<br><br>It's like trying to ban clean drinking water.<br><br>Although they can make it very very expensive.<br><br>Just like they did with Crude Oil and firearms.,(reply>), Other then the fact that EV production is very polluting most energy production is fossil fuel based and the "green" energy does not produce enough electricity to support drivers.
