Better dead than uncompetitive, it seems.

ICE itself could stay provided the legislation banned sales of new vehicles using Carbon based fuels.

Diesel engines can be run on Hydrogen with the exhaust being 99.x% water vapour (and some burned lubricants)

Hydrogen is a dead end for cars, and ICE is hugely inefficient anyway. As are private cars in general really.

You know what jeopardizes competitiveness? Ivan the Tariffle, and charging so damn much for the electric models.

Do the right thing, grandma.
