Rejected petition STOP the proposed ban on New Petrol & Diesel Cars by 2030 Consider Alternatives

Diesel & Petrol cars have equal environmental footprint as an EV through carbon and pollution in mining the elements for the battery as well as manufacturing. The carbon footprint is merely shifting to vehicle manufacturing.

Bringing this forward to 2030 is unrealistic & expensive to consumers

Explore & Consider alternative fuelling options for a range of current combustion and hybrid engines while continuing to build the infrastructure towards the original 2040 target date. (originally 2050)
