Don’t Give Up on the Electric Car Dream

As the COP28 meeting in Dubai concluded last month, those of us involved in efforts to fight climate change desperately looked for evidence that countries will finally take the climate crisis more seriously. Time is short. More than ever before, we need to close ranks and emphasize positive actions that will see a turnaround in carbon emissions for the first time, and a slowing of the creeping horror of global warming.

Members of the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome, or CACOR, have unanimously agreed that two of the key weapons against the climate crisis are:

1. 1. Rapid deployment of renewable energy resources (solar, wind, hydroelectric and geothermal energy) to replace fossil fuel energy.
   2. Replacement of transportation (cars, trucks, trains and eventually ships and airplanes) running with internal combustion engines, or ICEs, with electric vehicles, otherwise known as EVs.
