Norway are banning all fossil fuel cars within the next 10 years in an effort to become one of the most ecologically progressive nations in the world. Politicians in Norway have vowed to eradicate all petrol cars by the year 2025 in order to reach the ambitious goal of having every single car run on green energy. Independent.co.uk reports: According to Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, “FRP will remove all gasoline cars”, a headline which makes reference to the populist right-wing Framstegspartiet, or Progress Party. Yet there is some denial from other right-wing representatives that the move has been confirmed. If passed, it would be particularly significant because a large proportion of Norway’s funds rely on the country’s petroleum industry. The report also follows the announcement that Norway will become the first country in the world to commit to zero deforestation. Speaking about the possible 2025 ban on non-electric cars, Elon Musk, chief executive of US electric car company Tesla Motors, lauded the announcement. “Just heard that Norway will ban new sales of fuel cars in 2025,” he wrote. “What an amazingly awesome country. You guys rock!!”. Just heard that Norway will ban new sales of fuel cars in 2025. What an amazingly awesome country. You guys rock!! pic.twitter.com/uAXuBkDYuR — Elon Musk [...]
