True, but why set a limit in 30-40 years?
Thats a whole generation, most people that work today will be retired by then (hopefully).
30 to 40 years ago, lead-free fuel, catalytic converters, airbags, and ABS became more common and started to become standard.
Because it is a useless gesture.
A polly knows they will likely not be in power when they set the target so when time comes their party can say 'see we had a plan but you voted us out of office so we couldn't act on it and the people you voted in didn't follow through with our plan.'
