China is considering deadline to go all-electric – a death sentence for the internal combustion engine
Say good-bye to the oil industry.

And the armies and banks that feed off off it.

China is considering deadline to go all-electric – a death sentence for the internal combustion engine

France, the UK, and more recently Scotland, all announced efforts to ban petrol and gas-powered cars in favor of electric vehicles.

While some of those efforts could have a significant impact, none would be greater than if the largest car market in the world, China, would do the same.

Now the Chinese government is also reportedly considering a deadline to go all-electric, which would virtually be the end of the internal combustion engine.


Bloomberg reported that a high-ranking government official confirmed that they are working on the timetable for such a deadline:

Just a means of control.

What's the range of an electric car? About 90 miles. And then it takes hours to recharge.

If China has their way, people will only be able to drive on the "grid". Refueling depots will only be in areas they want their serfs to drive on.

Obviously the government didn't think this over. What about agriculture equipment, far away from any power and needs to run all day long?
How bout commercial trucks? Trains, etc?

The headline says "considering".

Lots of details to be worked out, obviously.

But considering China's air pollution problem, I can see why they'd want to get more people using electric vehicles to get around.

Years ago the band "Rush" wrote a short story and put it to music.
"Red Barchetta" It was about the government passing a motor law banning internal combustion engines.
