A ban on selling new petrol, diesel or hybrid cars in the UK will be
brought forward from 2040 to 2035 at the latest, under government plans.

The change comes after experts said 2040 would be too late if the UK
wants to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050.

Boris Johnson unveiled the policy as part of a launch event for a United
Nations climate summit in November.

He said 2020 would be a "defining year of climate action" for the planet.

Probably works in a place the size of Michigan with the population
density of Maryland. I would only worry about your grid. You folks
seem to have pretty modest services to your homes. A car charger might
double it. 200 amp panels are popular here and most people need to
bump that up if they want a car charger (~50a or so extra)

Ok, but the US seems to be going in the opposite direction, especially under Trump.



You've been duped by the fake news media. I thought you were smarter than that.
