Could Norway ban all gasoline powered cars? - AutoblogGreen
Are they serious? Considering they sell a good bit of oil themselves it would be incredibly hypocritical. What do the Norwegians here think of this?

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. They should ban the telephone and the television while they're at it. Oh, and they should close all the hospitals and just pray to Odin to cure the sick.
If they really wanted to help save the planet they should ban all airplane flights because anyone who knows anything about ecology will tell you that airplanes are much worse than cars.
For Great Justice.
It's a bit of a step, for sure. but nothing will change unless a big jolt happens.
These cars can still run on alternative fuels, and they haven't banned them. I agree cars are usually wrongly villified but thats because they are an obvious and easy target - a centre of consumerism and all that environmentalists think is wrong with the world - which I personally think is just ludicrous.
Couple this to a government who, according to some, has not impressed with their environmental policies, and it could be done moreso to save face than for any actual environmental benefit.
One day it's gonna happen though - and we've gotta be prepared.

That was a pretty stupid thing you just said.Originally Posted by NicFromLA
Banning petroleum powered cars makes alot of sense in some respects. Banning telephones, televisions and closing hospitals makes no sense in any respects. (apart from televisions encouraging childhood obesity but we won't go into that)
Airplane flights aren't great but there aren't many other ways to get from one country to another. Plus they are public transport and take alot of people at a time. Petrol powered cars on the other hand have many other alternatives that are either developed or being developed.
Think a little bit next time you post eh?

Nic is also absolutely right; airplanes are far more polluting then any other form of transport, despite carrying so many passengers. You also have to remember that luxury goods like television serve little purpose, yet consume quite a bit of energy. A car, however polluting, at least has an actual purpose.
If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
