Petrol cars, and replacing them with electric cars, and hybrid cars, or whatever. I think this is a very good idea, but perhaps too long.

I hope that doesn't end the production of long-running Morgan vehicles.

Said the backstabber Michael Gove, who won't be around (in government) to see that the policy is implemented. Quite frankly, I don't trust the current Tory government to deliver. Brexit will potentially throw a few spanners in the works too.

A lot of things have to be in place for this to work. The demand this will place on the National Grid will have to be dealt with in some way and the generation of electricity will need to be much cleaner (requiring investment in renewables, the phasing out of coal fire power stations which is apparently happening soon, etc.) for it to even be worth doing. There will need to be some sort of scrappage scheme to encourage drivers to switch to electric vehicles (which Gove mentioned to be fair, but again, it'll take action). There are no doubt loads of other measures that will need to be taken.

pretty much, a few "campaign donations" would go out to our politicians and any bill mandating electric cars would never happen

The nigh-complete disappearance of petrol stations will do that just as well.

Freedom being most paramount, but for some reason I get the feeling liberals would be just fine with it.

If electric cars ever become cost-competitive at roughly similar usefulness, they'll start taking over the market.

As how it should be not some government mandate.

Freedom doesn't prevent the government from protecting the environment.
