French President Emmanuel Macron's environmental appointee, Nicolas Hulot, has his eyes set on quite a goal for the country in 2040. Over the next 33 years, France is planning to become carbon neutral by banning the market of fossil fuel vehicles which make up 96.5% of the French market. This announcement has caused a stir in many of France's main manufacturing brands, who now plan to accelerate their plans of at least a hybrid model if they haven't already done so. However, in order for the country to become completely carbon neutral, it'll be more than just vehicles - electricity generation and other carbon activities will have to find alternatives. This all comes in an effort to further support the Paris Climate Accord as well as the explicit statement that President Trump's decision to withdraw was a key factor in this plan's development.
