People in this thread thinking this is a serious policy proposal 🤣

I seriously think petrol cars should be 100% banned by 2028, and that it should be illegal for petrol stations to operate.

How would people who live in suburbs or rural areas do anything? Many Americans live in these areas. I'm serious what is the plan for all of them?

America wasn't built for public travel unfortunately.

How do we deal with the areas with no people living in them?

I'm mostly joking, but an extreme proposal like this would probably only take effect in metropolitan areas. 80%+ of Americans live in an urban setting. Electric trains and busses in the city, electric trucks in the country.
