All the head burying in the sand is so sad to watch, especially on the heels of the Alberta economy melting down as a result of the collapse of the price of oil. Keep ignoring the indicators of the changing global energy economy. It hurts only yourselves.

The fact is they haven't announced they are going to stop using ICE engines so I don't know what that has to do with burying heads in the sand. I'm just stating the facts here as a lot of people seem to be under the assumption that you won't be able to buy an ICE powered Volvo by 2020 which isn't the case.
