Canada's federal government has announced plans to eliminate new vehicles solely powered by gas from the market by 2035 as part of its initiative to reduce emissions nationwide. The proposal has sparked concerns in Alberta regarding the feasibility of this mandate and the province's ability to adapt to a shift towards electric vehicles (EVs).
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault revealed the plan to phase out gas-powered vehicles on Tuesday, a move that experts argue is not implausible. However, in Alberta, where the economy is heavily dependent on the oil and gas industry, questions arise about the practicality of such a transition.
