Politicians in England looking for ways to comply with a nationwide goal of carbon-neutrality by 2050 have proposed a phase-out of gas-fueled cars by the year 2040.
"Petrol-driven cars could be banned across Britain by 2040, under radical Liberal Democrat plans to tackle climate change."
"The Liberal Democrat leader, Sir Menzies Campbell, and the party's environment spokesman, Chris Huhne, unveiled the proposal today as part of a package of measures designed to make Britain carbon-neutral by 2050."
"He compared the change to the shift from the steam engine to the internal combustion engine, or from the gaslight to electric light, at the start of the 20th century."
"'We need - by 2040 - to have a non-carbon emitting type of propulsion in our vehicles,' he said."
"'It will be clearly no petrol cars by 2040.'"
