RetroFedWe Need to Start Phasing out Gas Powered Vehicles

I really hope the following happens despite Carney and the Conservatives.
We should already start the phasing out process.
- Ban non-commercial vehicles sizes by a huge amount.
- Ban highly inefficient vehicles.
- Create a much wider ban on obnoxiously loud vehicles – all of them, including sports cars, trucks, motorcycles, so people replace with vehicles that don’t disturb the peace.
- Incentives folks to buy bikes and e-bikes.
- Carbon incentive was a good idea, but did get the good momentum it deserved.
- The climate is becoming much worse, drastic measures are needed to be taken. And its our responsibility to bring them. I have no sympathy for any of these gas guzzling folks.

I think edging while still strafing through a high majority agreement is the way to go. Oversized vehicles need to go for example. Incentives for bikes and e-bikes makes sense. Don’t ban all sport vehicles but, but impose more restrictions.
And engage the public for their opinion: polls, open-ended questions, anything. It should be so easy with healthy internet platforms.
in order for this to work, rural communities would have to have easy, cheap access to a bus.
I know in my rural community, if you don’t have a car you absolutely cannot do anything.
What about incentives bikes, e-bikes or scooters? And for that 1 season for folks who don’t want to brave or cannot use a mountain (e-)bike, the money folks saved can go towards buses, taxis, rent a car, friends, other creative solutions.
The closest city to me is 20 minutes away on a good day. If I were to ride a bike, I would have to leave hours before just to make it into the city.
Did you read e-bikes or scooter? Or just defeatist? Life isn’t ever going to be for you? I’m not sure if I should feel bad for you – preferably would focus on people who want to work for a better life.
If you’re going to roast me, at least make it make sense.
I don’t care. Get a bike.
