Globally, only one in 50 new cars were fully electric in 2020, and one in 14 in the UK. Sounds impressive, but even if all new cars were electric now, it would still take 15-20 years to replace the world s fossil fuel car fleet.
The emission savings from replacing all those internal combustion engines with zero-carbon alternatives will not feed in fast enough to make the necessary difference in the time we can spare: the next five years. Tackling the climate and air pollution crises requires curbing all motorized transport, particularly private cars, as quickly as possible.

A state that prides itself on its critical role in the energy economyâboth as a source of traditional fossil fuel energy sources like oil and a growing hotspot for renewables like wind and solarâhad its electric grid completely crippled for days. Stories emerged of customers being billed thousands of dollars for using the stateâs limited supply of electricity in the stormâs aftermath. The situation became a flashpoint for a longer-running debate in the state (and beyond) over whether renewables or fossil fuels were a more dependable source of energy.
