UK Dems pushing to ban fossil fuel autos by 2040

UK Dems pushing to ban fossil fuel autos by 2040

Members of the Liberal Democrats political party in the UK (Lib Dems) have put forth a proposal that would see millions of gasoline- and diesel-burning passenger vehicles banned from British roads by 2040. As one pillar of its plan to create a "zero carbon" country, the proposed policy would see only "ultra-low carbon vehicles" – essentially super-efficient hybrids and electric vehicles – allowed for general use on public roads. Gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles would still be permissible for hauling freight, however. For the record, such a proposal is not a brand new idea for the party.
