Ethiopia has decided that only electric cars may be imported into the country. The move is a major step towards sustainable mobility and is ahead of the European Union's plans to ban internal combustion engines from 2035.

    The catch is no one has a car.

      That’s even better than all cars being EVs.

          It kind of is. The larger your income, the larger your carbon footprint, and that scales indefinitely.

            Not quite. The larger your consumption, the larger your carbon footprint.

            Just because a person is rich doesn’t mean they have to have a private jet.

              It’s a generalization, but it’s pretty reliable. Of course there are always exceptions.
