When diesels became a bigger seller than petrol one would have thought the pendulem would have swung away from petrol. However, because of the Kyoto (and later) agreements, I guess they still feel the need for a CO2 deduction approach. But as you point out in your quoted percentages they won't be very successful environmentally but the ££££'s will still roll in. Kev |

Oxford have provisionally given the Green light for a ZEZ (Zero Emission Zone) Vehicles not meeting the required emission standards of Euro 4 petrol & Euro 6 diesel will have to pay £10/day. https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/lat...ched-in-august

i assume these councillors all realize all there fresh food, delivery goods for shops in the city, public works machinery etc all use diesel!!
The councillors are not going to know what hit them when they cant get there tax payer funded lunches anymore! Just get involved in local politics and vote them out- easy fixed |

i read an interesting article the other day regarding the worlds lithium supplies.
It was estimated by the US geological survey body that we have enough lithium present world wide for 350 years- at the present rate of consumption. however if we suppose current vehicle production was achieved for ev cars -known lithium supplies would only last 17 years!! And the govt’s of the world are pinning there emissions targets on this technology???!!!! |

I was wondering as Lithium mining isn’t exactly ‘green’ and I was wondering how the greens rationalise that.
