Sorry to disappoint all these ‘hug a tree’ idiots, but if you really want to save the world, I suggest you hold your breath for ten minutes. It’s all about money, nothing else. Wake up.My car and yours will make no difference to the planet. Problem is types like us will not waste money buying inferior products, that’s why we run Rover75 and ZT’s.Although I doubt at the ripe old age of 81, I will not be driving in another 20 years, so it will not make much difference to me what it on the roads. I just feel sorry for non Rover owners for what they are missing. But don’t tell anyone.
The residue of atomic bombs has contaminated the planet for the last 75 years or so, it came to light fairly recently with the harvesting of sunken ships in far East, they're being targeted by gangs and blown to pieces on the seabed, the reason is the metal value. The atomic bombs that were tested or dropped have made everything on Earth radioactive, the metal on the seabed that was sunk before the bombs isn't tarnished and, it's worth a lot of money because of that for making instruments for medical usage.
The rush to go electric will be a bit of a fudge, it'll be like Edison and Tesla all over again but with bribes from middle East oil countries to keep using oil products. The oil will win in the end unless the perfect electric car is on the market, the knowledge is there but where will the tax revenues come from with electric cars? There will be people charging cars from home built stations and cutting out the grid, that will impact the economy even more. The point is a simple one, unless we find a way of replacing the lost taxation from oil in all its forms, it'll continue to be used.
