the future does not look good for new fossil fuel vehicles

"Many countries are now banning new vehicles that run on fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel or liquefied petroleum gas. Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, and the Netherlands have announced plans to ban fossil fuel cars starting in 2030; Britain, France, Taiwan and California will ban them in 2040; and Norway in 2025. Paris, Rome, Madrid, Athens and Mexico City will ban diesel vehicles in 2025."

I just can’t see how these countries can ban fossil fuels in short order. As stated a few times, they are lacking the infrastructure to go electric at least short term.
With the recent fluctuations of the stock market and dropping of oil prices the political influence becomes much stronger in terms of controlling the economic impact to the world by reduced oil use. Many on this site have experienced recession and inflation as it relates to the price of a barrel of oil and to some extent our economy could be impacted by the reduction of fossil fuel use.

Something to think about is that many 3rd world countries need oil byproducts to sustain life ie., heat their homes. As such the use of fossil fuels will be around a long time.
