Rishi Sunak to Ditch 2030 Ban on Petrol and Diesel Cars and Slow Phase-Out of Gas Boilers in Latest Net Zero Back-Down – The Daily Sceptic
Rishi Sunak is poised to ditch the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars and slow the phasing-out of gas boilers as he scales back costly green pledges.dailysceptic.org
Wow, even retard politicians see the wall approaching. The car makers could see this ass kicking coming a mile away but had no choice but to plan for the hard ban dates.
Automobile giant Ford Motor Co.’s (NYSE: F) UK Chair Lisa Branklin expressed concern over the UK potentially relaxing its current target to ban new petrol and diesel car sales by 2030. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated on Tuesday that while his Government remained committed to achieving a net zero emissions target by 2050, he intends to achieve it in a “better, more proportionate way.”
A BBC report suggested that the UK is considering pushing back its deadline to phase out non-electric vehicles to 2035, which Ford views as a mistake that could jeopardize the transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
Brankin emphasized that the 2030 target is crucial for Ford’s plans to embrace a cleaner future. The company has already invested £430 million in UK facilities and has further investments aligned with the 2030 timeline. Branklin stated that Ford needs “three things from the U.K. government: ambition, commitment and consistency.”
