Thanks, Chris.
The idea is give up and ban combustion (inc.uding combustion
venicles), first proposed in Norway and Sweden.
Why burn and spendfinite resources, when we can use infinite renewable energy.
Solar energy is now cheañer tnan nuclear and is becoming cheaper than
fossil fuels.
Forget mountaintop removal mining, oil splits, nuclear residues and
blue killer (natural gas) lekeages.
Regards.
