Sonke siyazi ngokungcola okudaleka ukushayela izimoto zikaphethiloli nezikadizili.Amadolobha amaningi omhlaba ambozwe ukuhamba kwezimoto, adala intuthu equkethe amagesi njengama-nitrogen oxide.Isixazululo sekusasa elihlanzekile, eliluhlaza kungaba izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi.Kodwa kufanele sibe nethemba elingakanani?
Kube nesasasa elikhulu ngonyaka odlule lapho uhulumeni wase-UK ememezela ukuthi uzovala ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha zikaphethiloli nekadizili kusukela ngo-2030. Kodwa ingabe kulula lokho kunokukwenza?Umgwaqo oya emhlabeni jikelele wokuba ngogesi usekude kakhulu.Okwamanje, impilo yebhethri iyinkinga – ibhethri elishajwe ngokugcwele ngeke likuyise ethangini eligcwele likaphethiloli.Kukhona nezinombolo ezilinganiselwe zamaphoyinti okushaja ongaxhuma kuwo i-EV.
Yiqiniso, ubuchwepheshe buhlala buthuthuka.Ezinye zezinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe, njenge-Google ne-Tesla, zisebenzisa imali eningi zakha izimoto zikagesi.Futhi iningi labakhiqizi bezimoto ezinkulu manje bayazenza nabo.UColin Herron, ongumeluleki wezobuchwepheshe bezimoto ezinekhabhoni ephansi, utshele i-BBC ukuthi: “Ukuphumelela okukhulu kuzoza namabhethri aqinile, azovela kuqala komakhalekhukhwini namalaptop ngaphambi kokuba athuthukele ezimotweni.”Lezi zizoshaja ngokushesha futhi zinikeze izimoto ibanga elikhulu.
Izindleko ngenye inkinga engase ivimbele abantu ukushintshela emandleni kagesi.Kodwa amanye amazwe anikeza izikhuthazo, njengokunciphisa amanani ngokunciphisa izintela ezivela kwamanye amazwe, nokungakhokhisi intela yomgwaqo neyokupaka.Eminye futhi ihlinzeka ngemizila ekhethekile ukuze izimoto zikagesi zishayelwe phezu kwazo, ezidlula izimoto zesintu okungenzeka zibhajwe esiminyaminyeni.Lezi zinhlobo zezinyathelo zenze iNorway yaba yizwe elinezimoto zikagesi eziningi ngomuntu ngamunye ezimotweni zikagesi ezingaphezu kwamashumi amathathu ngezakhamuzi eziyi-1000.
Kodwa u-Colin Herron uxwayisa ngokuthi 'izimoto zikagesi' akusho ikusasa elingenakhabhoni.“Ayinagesi ekhipha isisi kodwa imoto kumele yakhiwe, ibhethri lakhiwe, nogesi uqhamuka ndawana thize.”Mhlawumbe yisikhathi sokucabanga ngokwenza uhambo oluncane noma ukusebenzisa izithuthi zomphakathi.
