“Why would phasing out petrol cars be a bad thing?”

Because coercing people into half-baked technology is a bad thing. When alternatives to gasoline become technically and economically competitive, the market will gobble them up. It won’t need the government to force it.

Absolutely correct.

Of course, after viewing some of the steam cars on Jay Leno’s Garage, I’d like to own something like a Doble E-series. Don’t have to worry about overheating a steamer 😊
