I agree. Nowadays politicians get into everything, ignoring technical and biological realities. Politicians are only motivated by money, but stupid decisions will have to be fixed by even more money. Setting a wholly arbitrary decision for terminating gasoline-powered cars but wholly neglecting the associated problems and ignoring the real problems of electric cars is of the same caliber, as recommending the eating of worms and crickets to “save the planet” from carbon emissions. Also ignoring that using electric energy to charge electric cars requires huge electric plants, yet future energy supply planners predict many smaller local power plants rather than a few giants. Hydrogen-based cars would make a lot more sense, but sense is not “sexy enough” for some reason.
