Organizations like the New York State Police had warned against drivers traveling to view the eclipse in cars that couldn't withstand long delays: "If from out of the area, don't use vehicles that can't travel for 10-plus hours without charging - stranded EVs [electric vehicles] in traffic will be towed," Newsweek reports.This story made me smile.

German Minister Threatens To Ban Weekend Driving Over Climate Law
April 13, 2024
Volker Wissing, Germany’s transport minister, has argued that if amendments to the country’s climate laws are not brought in soon, he could be required to impose Draconian measures, such as a driving ban on weekends.
He added that, without an amendment, the transport ministry would have to introduce “restrictive measures that are difficult to communicate to the population, such as comprehensive and indefinite driving bans on Saturdays and Sundays.”
In March, it was revealed that the transportation industry had failed to meet its legally binding emissions targets for 2023, reports The Local. Under law, Germany is bound to cut its emissions by 65 percent between 1990 and 2030, while meeting annual emissions targets.
Greenpeace also objected to Wissing’s rhetoric, claiming that he was turning his ministry’s failure to reduce emissions into political pressure.
