@Normal Man it's called capital flight

Same thing happened to France

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

- Should the sale of fossil fuel cars eventually be banned or phased out? When should the sale of new fossil fuel cars be banned?

https://futurism.com/these-7-countries-want-to-say-goodbye-to-fossil-fuel-based-cars

phased out

depends when eventually is

Honestly the sooner the better, air pollution is a major issue

once 70% of cars daily used are non-fossil fuel

then you can go for a full on ban I guess

@Deleted User Name your date, UK wants a ban by 2040

Others by 2030

I'd say 2040 is realistic

also I think it should be a forced buy back not a ban

Should be carbon taxed to hell to such a degree that it's cheaper to go renewable than to pay tax

You guys can easily talk about it but hello, I am Bulgarian, most people here use cars before 2005 because they have no money for newer cars, what is left for the electric ones. How should we travel? By bicycles?

thats why I said buy back

and the point of waiting so long is so that hopefully electric cars will become cheaper and more viable

Thank God we are a capitalist country as capitalism makes you richer

Regular citizens aren't responsible for the majority of climate change effects/pollution. The government and coal companies are the real problems.
Cars need not be banned, they'll be phased out.

@President Sanders📍🇺🇸 another problem

Many countries' industry are responsible for air pollution because of a simple reason

The technology that makes so much carbon emissions is cheaper. You wouldn't start a business in a poor country with expensive technology if you don't have enough money, would you?

I mean cars are a major factor of carbon emissions

once africa gets as industrialized as the rest of the world we're gonna have a bit of a problem

@Deleted User I live in the EU and the new EU commission president has got a plan that would cause a lot of troubles. It's partly related to the Global warming thing.

And it's gonna harm our industry

Same with the Romanian one

@Deleted User cars are, but that's often due to lax government regulations. Cars could be made more efficient, even if they're not electric.

Honestly, I don't think the policies against climate change that have been done by now are good

lax government regulations because if you regulate them to much your economy fucking dies

oh you mean make them more efficient

sorry I didn't read the last half because I am small brain

@President Sanders📍🇺🇸 they could if buy one from 2010

Not everyone can

I can't at least from now

for*

Most of the people around me couldn't

Same with many other countries

The economy will die if automation takes the job market and climate change/migration costs trillions in the coming decades.
Strict regulations to ensure the well-being of the Earth and eco-system are necessary.

Well when automation gets to a certain point UBI will be the only way to survive

but that is nowhere close
