The U.K. is one of many countries looking to end the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles.

At the start of January, the Irish government announced plans to ban the sale of "fossil fuel cars" by the year 2030, while Denmark has also proposed a phaseout of new diesel and petrol car sales in 2030.

Reacting to the Tuesday's announcement, Friends of the Earth's Head of Policy, Mike Childs, said the government was "right to accelerate the phase-out of petrol and diesel cars to curb air pollution and address the climate emergency, but the ban should start in 2030 — not 2035." "A new 2035 target will still leave the U.K. in the slow-lane of the electric car revolution and meantime allow more greenhouse gases to spew into the atmosphere," he added.

I may go turn on my suv and burn a tank of gas in the driveway in solidarity of my fellow Europeans.

How very presumptuous that we will find a better battery system than lithium, which causes an ecological disaster when mined (but it’s in third world countries so who cares), and handle the increased demand on the power grid that solar and wind can not possibly supply.

I admire them for that

That’s environmentally awesome!!! Love it

It's 2020 so where are the flying cars? Can you say bullshit boys and girls.

The classic can drive on Frying Oil‼️ 😂
