European Union to Ban Gas Fueled Vehicles by 2050

If you´ve ever wondered what a continent would look like without vehicles burning fossil fuels, it may only be four more decades before you see it firsthand. The European Commission, an executive branch of the EU, put forth an ambitious proposal to eliminate gasoline and diesel fueled automobiles by the year 2050 in a bid to reduce traffic congestion and drastically reduce the continent's carbon footprint. While the plan is certainly not without its detractors, what may be more pertinent to ponder is what the world would look like if fossil fuels usage continues to rise for the decades to come, unabated.

Let the critics scream at this proposal. Very soon the proposal; may be worthless. We may not have to eliminate the vehicles when the gas and diesel is not available.
