> Its government is developing a plan to phase out vehicles powered by fossil fuels

Simply not true. It didn't say anything about banning fossil fuels for the power generation. EVs are still an absurdity; we wouldnt be able to power them if we only used wind/hydro. The electric motor doesn't make any sense. A bicycle make an electric scooter look like an energy pounding monster, especially if the person on the bicycle grows/buys their food locally. We all better start planting a lot of green things, if we want to survive. Forget what the criminals on the podium are saying; your neighbor simply doesn't have the right to make you breathe his car/coal(nuclear)PowerPlant/batteryManufacturing/solarPanelManufacturing toxic emissions without your permission.
