Perhaps a more honest headline would be "The National Council of Bhutan wants to force the Bhutanese people to drive electric cars." After all, people don't need special permission to buy a Leaf if they want one. It would be great fun to enjoy a day without cars, if you didn't need to be in a car that day. Remember the cool opening to "Vanilla Sky"? (And can anyone spot the goof?) But cars are popular for good reason. And the Bhutanese don't seem too happy about the ban; the weekly car-free day was changed to monthly, and now that too has been scrapped.
