The new breeder reactors in China, meanwhile, are demonstration projects, the second step in a three-step program to develop fast breeder reactors to reduce the country’s dependence on coal. The country will soon decide whether to continue to the third step of building a commercial 1,000-MW breeder reactor.

Vehicle penetration 2000 to 2040. Hybrids, which combine an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, are expected to account for about half of global new-car sales by 2040, as they become increasingly cost-competitive compared to conventional vehicles. In 2010, about 75% of the world’s vehicles were in OECD countries.

These kinds of bans have attracted criticism from auto 'journalists' and legacy vehicle manufacturers who rely on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) sales which are already faltering tremendously. In the early 2000's there was the “Euro 1” emission standard. Is their criticism warranted? Absolutely not. The answer is simple.

High-end engineering and computer software and systems jobs at auto suppliers are also at risk , as auto manufacturers are moving to shift those jobs in-house. One study shows that even in 2050, some 44 percent of all vehicle sales globally will still have internal combustion engines, albeit perhaps using biofuels.
