Comments for Norway Considering Banning New Gas-Only Cars by 2015 at http://www.ecogeek.org , comment 1 to 7 out of 7 comments http://www.ecogeek.org Tue, 21 May 2013 15:53:49 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-47018 This would be a great law to pass and should be done in other countries as well. Its not only about can you afford the gas, but can the environment afford to keep supplying your Hummers with gas as well. By transitioning out the old gas guzzling cars to more efficient hybrids or electricals will over time get the old out and the new in. - Liz Karschner Fri, 20 Jul 2012 11:20:16 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-42244 Do they plan on supplying their people with said nonbanned cars, then? - hybrid cars Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:22:28 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-28810 Many countries are going to be involved in convincing the population to transition - Fred Fri, 24 Jul 2009 08:56:20 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-26449 Why ban though? Let the market find it's way. If oil gets to $150/barrel it will become simpler. Not only that, all major car manufacturers will start rolling new hybrid vehicles in 2010. - hyperspaced Thu, 30 Apr 2009 09:15:46 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-26386 Glad to see people trying to make others more aware of how we can improve environmental damage. I'm trying to bring awareness by spreading the word on the winners of the Tomorrows World video contest: http://www.tomorrowsworldcompetition.com/ They had a competition over videos about water efficiency and flooding. Living off the West Coast, it's a very real worry of mine. I think the winners did a great job! Check out their work and forward the link if you like it. - Mark Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:31:56 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-26379 Dofa: It has to be said that in Norway, very few people are likely to buy an SUV. They were "popular" a few years back, but SUV-owners are now almost subject to ridicule from their peers. So I don't think that's a huge problem. Kristin Halvorsen is fantastic, I love that woman. She has massive cojones. And also; that picture is of my home-town Bergen! Woohoo! Homesick now. - Magnulus Tue, 28 Apr 2009 01:12:14 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2712#comment-26370 wouldn't that mean a lumbering SUV hybrid with questionable green credentials could continue to be produced while the very-efficient smart car would be banned? I like the idea of banning products that are not good for the environment - it just needs to be done carefully. - dofa Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:36:04 +0100
