In Russia, in 2035 (and beyond), people will have the FREEDOM to choose an EV, or a fossil fuel car.

Why don’t they just tell everyone to get a horse and buggy? Might be time to invest in buggy whip stock! Are tulips the next big thing also?

Apparently not in this life. More CO2 in the atmosphere is beneficial to life on earth.
