[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;28871526]For those who didn't read:
The EU isn't trying to ban cars, only those fuelled by diesel or benzine.
.[/QUOTE]
Not a single car is fueled by benzine. Nor, benzene, or benzyne for that matter

It's translated gasoline in English, my mistake.
[QUOTE=RubberFruit;28862305]Banning cars? Yeah, not gonna happen.
But it would still be fucking cool to have no roads and just underground monorails. :D[/QUOTE]
i want everything to be in water and we travel by boats :buddy:
[QUOTE=ToXiCsoldier;28871580]It's translated gasoline in English, my mistake.[/QUOTE]
Yeah it's benzine in my language too. Makes it confusing when it means something different in english

It's about banning air polluting personal transportation in city centers where you aren't supposed to need it anyway, and you could still use electric cars etc
Owning a car if you don't travel outside a city is pretty dumb anyway
Who the fuck needs cars in the city when you could have trams.
All cities should implement a Melbourne-like tram network. :love:
Did you guys read the article?
Diesel and petrol -cars are banned. Electric cars and such would be okay. I think it's a great idea, in belief that by 2050 electric cars or such are affordable by not-rich people.
I don't actually like electric cars as you can't really hear them coming.
Switch to LPG, cheaper gas + better for the hurrvironment

also good mileage unlike electric
Maybe Britain should try this:

6 million residents and no roads - just subways
[QUOTE=Elspin;28868024]Wow, people are pretty misinformed, Trey is [url=http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_the_fuel_company_BP_stand_for]completely right.[/url]
it's a myth that the company's name is Beyond Petroleum, because that's one of their slogans.[/QUOTE]
If you'd actually read the page you linked to you'd realise BP is now just BP not British Petroleum
Ban all cars. Give everyone bikes. Problem solved.

Genius.
I'd prefer electric powered body suits so we can run at 30mph to work.
[QUOTE=RubberFruit;28862457]How about no, I would make fuel expensive and make inter-city tubes that are huge and cheap. Eventually no cars would be on the roads.[/QUOTE]
They already do this except they make the tubes really expensive as well because they know people are forced to use it.
But I want my semi to run on diesel, how will a heavy crap battery help me haul about 60 tons and keep 90 kmh for about 8 to 10 hours? sooner or later the energy crisis would be in more shit since all our electricity isn't "clean" since we still use oil burning plants and coal power. Then we need more nuclear reactors and then all the hippies would go ape shit insane.
Dang
OP phrased the title like that on purpose so lazy ass americans who can't read the article think EU is stoopid

There is more research about green energy nowadays, like wave generators (underwater generators that make electricty out of the waves of the sea), solar panels, some salt steam generators.
But yeah, that's going to take very long to go in, and conventional fuel still powers most of our world.
I don't like the idea of our trains getting even more packed than they already are :(
[QUOTE=xXDictatorXx;28879098]I don't like the idea of our trains getting even more packed than they already are :([/QUOTE]
If there's more demand, there'll be more trains on the rails.
[QUOTE=Kingy_why;28879171]If there's more demand, there'll be more trains on the rails.[/QUOTE]
Not really, there's only so much train that can go on the track.
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;28879574]Not really, there's only so much train that can go on the track.[/QUOTE]
Then we make more track!
This makes sense actually, City Centres are already annoying and polluting to drive around in as it is. They're right to protest about shifting longer journey to rail though, our government knows just as well as we do that out rail system is pretty slow and (perhaps more importantly) annoyingly expensive.
