Today is your day Boomer! I guess the writing is on the wall Boomers....we need to make the transition to hybrid or electric vehicles very soon! 2035 seems to be the popular global target date as the EU and California have recently announced laws coming that state any "new" cars sold by 2035 must not be gasoline only. Even though environmental organizations like Greenpeace want 2028 as the date, the transition will definitely have to be gradual and, of course, cannot apply to used vehicles already on the road. Why is this so important? Check out the picture of rush hour in California and read this info blurb on the #1 contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in America: "Transportation (27% of 2020 greenhouse gas emissions) – The transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes. Over 90% of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes primarily gasoline and diesel." Burning fossil fuels for electricity and industry are close in second and third place. Now, if we can just get China on board in this global movement....the #1 polluter, we will make some significant progress. In the meantime Boomers, start planning and saving your nickels and dimes for a new electric or hybrid car! Cheers.
