Neither did we! Decisions are made today that solve one problem but have far reaching consequences into the future.

Exactly.
While we can make comparisons that distract from the discussion however a simple review of the thread will reflect that the material posted warning of what some segments of society have planned for the incremental phase out of the internal combustion engine is very real. As an example the catoylitic converter is front and center here as in 1970 the big three were laughing at the prospect. By 1972 the automotive press was openly calling the new car offerings "Lemons" and the converter was the law soon after. What caused this was regulation backed by the junk science of period this was the so called "hole in the Ozone". The domestic Auto industry was damaged severely during this period some will say it has still not recovered. We would be well advised to heed the warnings provided by history. |

That's all well and good but the issue at hand is that it far easier to say you are going to phase out the ICE versus actually doing it. Not one of the countries that has talked up the ban has said how they will deal with the massive investment to their infrastructure to support the ban.
Let's take a look at California for a moment. What happens when CA gets hit with another large earthquake which will surely disrupt the electric grids. What happens when people lose their power for a week or two? |

I can't. They don't have either land line or cell phone service for the most part.

Reasons to leave the "burning" state keep coming up, besides high cost of living.
