EcoGeek is reporting that Norway is heading down a great path for sustainable living – proposing a ban on selling any new gas-only cars in the country starting in 2015.

Finance Minister of Norway, Kristin Halvorsen, is implementing a plan that dictates cars sold after 2015 must at least partially run on electricity or other alternative fuels. Hybrid vehicles and biofuel-compatible cars would be allowed.

Although there has been opposition, the ban wouldn’t eliminate out gas-fueled cars completely, it would just require new models to have the option of accepting alternative means of fuel. Moreover, older gas cars wouldn’t be affected by the plan.
