[QUOTE="Nik, post: 231358, member: 1"] Warning, not read the article but seen the subject a few times :) I'd love to see a healthy debate on this topic without resorting to calling Liberals/NDP-ers? thieves and Conservatives gun totting nazi worshippers. Please try. It's possible. My view, electrification is happening, we cannot change that, oil and energy companies are very heavily invested in it and have been for decades, it's not something that's a fad that will pass. All car companies have or should have plans to phase out ICE eventually. Battery tech is still behind but that will change and is changing. It's an engineering, economic and cultural challenge, I think engineering is catching up fast, rest will eventually follow. It would be fantastic to see this country spearhead the insane amounts of money that will be invested in this sector in the upcoming decades. It does mean we need to transition certain industries but the writing has been on the wall here for a while. The 'ban' I hope is just a click baity headliners, there is a real debate about how to best embrace this change mind you. Long live the V8.... Alas I can see the end so enjoy it while it lasts. :oops: P.S. Don't underestimate China, ever. Thanks to authoritarian practices they can pivot in years what would take the west decades to accomplish. They are already the if not one of the largest investor in renewables, they know that's where industry is heading. PPS I am wrong often. [/QUOTE]
