The transportation sector is the main contributor of greenhouse gases. One initiative towards mitigating these gases is sustainable transportation, with significant reductions in emissions in this sector.

I believe that we should eventually change all transportation to electric power but as of right now we should only be construction new vehicles like buses to just be electric while we wait to convert the rest as we have bigger issues to focus on like improving health care resources and education funds. once those problems are solved then we should focus on converting the rest of the already fossil fuel vehicles. I say we should do this because there's no point in spending money on new fossil fuel transport when we could just make the long term discussion to make it electric at least just for newly needed transportation.
@B36RQXT2mos2MO
its not fully electric because we still burn fossil fuels to make the energy it uses to run so I feel like if we found a more efficient way to do it while preserving fossil fuels and energy usage
@B2V8RRQNew Democratic2mos2MO
It should be around 70% electric, and 30 % not, because something could go wrong and people still need to get to places, so backups are important.
@9W2P4776mos6MO
I support hydrogen fuel cells as a better alternative to electric. In the absence of hydrogen, electric is fine for provinces that generate their electricity from renewable sources or nuclear power. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter.
@9MH9FG611mos11MO
No. Batteries are MORE harmful to the environment. Why create new mines for new materials for batteries when we already have oil sands.
@9DYMWR62yrs2Y
In theory it sounds good, but would it be easy to implement?
@99PNYRM2yrs2Y
Yes, but not run off batteries. They should be hooked into the power grid
@8VP2BCN4yrs4Y
Does not have to be all but preferably yes.
@8VP29SH4yrs4Y
if they find a way to not use electricity then for now i guess they should, until they find something else
@8VLP3DJ4yrs4Y
@8VL2RG54yrs4Y
Yes, only if electric power is a viable option in that region.
@8VHSX2RConservative4yrs4Y
If we could generate a large amount of energy efficiently without the use of oil to create that electric power then we should but if we need to convert the power multiple times it will only be counter effective because we would just need to burn more oil to make said energy.
@99PMZC6Conservative2yrs2Y
Yes, but we don't need to use batteries, we can use wire and 3rd rail.
@8VNQSXN4yrs4Y
I think that there should be more hybrid buses to save the ecosystem
