Canada expects to announce this week that all new cars will have to be zero emissions by 2035, a senior government source said, as Ottawa is set to unveil new regulations in the latest example of countries around the world pushing for electrification.
Aw jeez not this again.
The cars are zero added emission. Their upstream may not be.
And [checks the country this is in] the vast majority of our power comes from hydroelectric, unless you’re in a backward province feeding on the dinosaur juice teat.
Hey, my backwards province loves coal just as much as methane.

Right now it’s more methane than coal, but they’re often quite close
Yes, this again. Because it’s wrong to claim otherwise, and too easy to drive a wedge in if it’s not represented properly.
What’s the actual emission-per-kilometre for an electric sedan vs. a (ICE) Corolla or an Escalade? As much as we get MPG ratings on the sticker of every car now, we should be seeing exactly what the impact is, not just a misleading “zero emissions.”
And sad but true, five provinces and all three territories are backwards enough to not have massive hydro resources available.
