B.C. wants ALL zero emission cars, trucks by 2040

[freeflorider]

Yes sir, I’m over in Bali right now and bro was just in Singapore. Things are doing just fine over here, not much concern as far as air care or electric vehicals. I have 5 oil tankers floating off the coast in front of me. Put lots of miles on the moped for $2 bucks.
my opinion is there doing better over here then we are. life is actually free and no one cares what you do, you just do it.

Fairy dust and dreams buddy! Lol

They want to close sledding areas than this announcement?

Fairy dust and unicorn farts.

 

[Got boost want snow]

Fairy dust and unicorn farts.

Unicorn farts need to be taxed they are not good for the environment!!

Guess they wont be needed our fuel either or and there converting everyone away from natural gas. I gather Kenny will make the pipe line go up to the top of Alberta then accross to the ocean.

 

[rknight111]

Where is all the power supposed to come from to charge all these batteries?

Millions of Solar Panels and wind mills. Lol, and people riding peddle bikes that power the grid.

CP and CN don’t guzzle any diesel now do they.

 

[Caper11]

Diesel is not burnt to supply mills with wood either I spose.

I’m pretty sure that government doesn’t give a F#%^ about the mills

Hey, that's the dip **** ndp talking out there ass

There gone next time, without sucking off the green party to get in

 

[Ronaha]

Didn't Trudeau make these same claims for all of Canada?

 

[Stompin Tom]

Not like me to go against the flow, and I get some real good gut chuckles out of the stupid ideas the unelected BC NDP party has, but it seems allot of you forget that 2 things that BC does have in abundance, hydro electricity and natural gas. Getting cut off from those two from Alberta would cause BC, well, no problems.

If you take a look at it from the view of the lower mainland, where they cant see any farther than 50 miles because of the smog and the mountains, it would seem like a great idea to have all the metropolis area run electric vehicles. Seems like a no brainer for them. But when they speak out with their wild and wonderful ideas, they forget about the 97% of the rest of the land mass which is in an entirely different living situation. There is a huge number or lower mainlanders who have never ventured farther east than Chilliwack, and to them Chilliwack is the edge of the earth.

I should also point out that the legislation is pointed towards light duty vehicles, not sure what that has to do with trains and mills?

Once you drive electric you will hate anything else.

Lots of hot air being blown here, typical. By 2040, i'll be 6ft under and a lot of you will be old fawks debating on which skin powder doesn't give you rash.
I'm always against the grain.
If i could afford one, i would have an EV car in my drive way today, i "F"n hate my diesel but there are no other options right now.

Talk about hot air Mike.................how do you figure to be 20' under in 20 years?? You are not that old...........and life expectancy in the Okanagan is quite high.

 

[FernieHawk]

I’ve got nothing against electric vehicles but I have an issue with manufacturers and media calling them ZERO emission...they should be called REMOTE emission vehicles.

Get a new truck then silly, and quit keeping the old power stroke going

Right now I highly doubt that, When is the first electric 1 ton pickup truck on the road???

All due respect, Im a truck guy, I do not like driving cars with gas engines in them.

If I can get to Valemount with two sleds on the deck, and make it back home on one charge I may think of it.

Is that what he’s driving??? Id be hating life too.

 

[X-it]

People think BC has lots of power, well that maybe true "if" site c gets built, if not where is all this power going to come from? Right now we are importing power from alberta to meet our needs. Electric cars seem green until you factor in those dam batteries.
