Phasing out of gasoline powered vehicles by 2035

If such a thing were to happen it would impact the illness profiteering cartels hard. In my estimation the vehicle emissions in concentrated areas is hard on immune systems. Thats why I think that initiative will not go anywhere for the foreseeable future. The big money in our time is chronic illness and gas vehicles are part of that problem.

Here they are planning for a world without pumps but the support infrastructure to serve all those electrical vehicles is far from done.

Major power outages cripple the electric vehicles.

The battery production facilities that feed this industry are not able to obtain the raw materials in quantities to service a totally zero emission scenario.

The parts industry for engines is strong and influential. An electric car might have 500 parts under the hood whereas the internal combustion engine has about 3500 parts under the hood. The muffler systems lobby is a big one too. Shutting down the gas engines will bankrupt legions of people earning a living in this parts trade.

I think again we are faced with dilemnas born of the fact that intelligent alternative options patents were bought and buried. That we are stuck between a rock and a hard place because they tampered with the natural sane evolution of things.

Electric cars are probably about eventual control as much as anything else.

Everything automated, vehicles can be shut down with a press of a keyboard.

Electric grids are said to not be able to cope with this also in many cities.

Dodge says they are building an 800 horsepower combustion engine that will run on hydrogen by the way.

This is different to hydrogen fuel cells/hybrids, its actually much like a gasoline engine, but running on H, the way gasoline engines can run on propane (LPG) ... im simplifying but its essentially the same principle.. meter the correct amount of gas (vapour, not gasoline/petrol) to run a combustion engine.

BMW had a vehicle like this driving around years ago, they modified a now old (then new) V12 engine from the 90s to run on H, emissions were water and oxygen I believe.

Im not running to buy one. I'll let others be the guinea pigs. Will be interesting to see eventual battery life, replacement cost (or are we just supposed to throw the 50k car away when the batteries die?)

I see quite a few teslas now and they are fast, but will only allow you x amount of full throttle runs before the computer takes the fun out and limits you... then you need to recharge... rinse and repeat.

I tend to agree with your earlier point about the switch to electric being more about the ability to just shut the thing off remotely should a person fall out of favor with the state for some ever changing reason

The issue at the moment in places like Canada is the fact the batteries hold a poor charge in sub zero weather on top of the immense geography of the place and how spread out everything is

Trudeau is well known for making outlandish virtue signalling commitments that defy logic

These sorts of idiots allways make the same contradictory claims

" reduce carbon emissions / increase population exponentially "

Cant have both under the current method of providing homes , heat and food and I really dont see anything resembling real tech when they talk of " green energy solutions "

Its like they gave some high school kids a project for a future world where nobody needs to take a shit and then made it public policy
