With the proposed phasing out of fossil fuel powered transport, how much thought have you put into what you will be driving in the run up to the phasing out?

@ArishMell And because anything commercialised has to make a profit, the majority of the automotive industry regardless of the philosophy exists to benefit the elite in control of the businesses and governments that leverage huge revenue and tax flows out of people who want to or need to use/own/operate transport systems of any sort.

@zonavar68 I don't go along with words like "elite" but I agree that motoring is very heavily taxed in many ways.
Yet if governments did not levy the taxes how could they pay for all the public services we all need - including roads to drive our costly cars on, or the railways, etc.?
