In a move to burnish Britain’s green credentials, Boris Johnson is to announce a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. He is following other political leaders, including Joe Biden, in promising lavish carrots to energise the market for electric cars along with sticks to outlaw petrol cars. Unfortunately, electric cars will achieve only tiny emissions savings at a very high price.
Whose running the country?
You could convert the gas guzzlers to electric. Then you get what you want. Wait, you mean what you want is noisy smelly fossil fuel?
What’s the Telegraphs’ point? Is Johnson being too woke?
Paywall
Sounds good! And demand would then be for cars that pollute much less. Sounds like a win to me
but the polar bears horse and cart
First was petrol , then they convinced everyone to move to diesel because petrol was bad .... no diesel is bad and everyone must move to electric ..... they are simply playing games based on how much they make .
The planet don't need to be saved，but only ourselves.
And the queues at service stations? Since a normal stop would be 15mins, then it would be plus45
Well in 2030 electric cars will be affordable to those who buy brand new cars. To those that buy second user cars petrol and diesel will be available, people are making out that only electric cars will be allowed to be driven ban
Should work out fine.😱
Ban petrol and desiel, then make electric cars unaffordable for the majority. The aim is for everyone to own little or nothing! The young can't afford a car or a home already that's not going to change. Next is to hit the middle classes for the want of a better label.
Thats what they want ! survival of the fittest/richest
Can't even write two paragraphs without resorting to 'virtue signalling'. Nothing to see here.
I like the presumption that Boris will still be our PM at that time.
Again with Mandates! What kind of 'free' society mandates everything? Oh, that's right...a FEUDAL one! Add a gas tax if you want but stop trying to Think For Consumers! Bloody hell..
If the planet needed saving it would wipe us out. Just like the dinosaurs
ffs😂he has zero power to ban anything, this isn’t NK yet, take your 💩💩💩elsewhere👍
Johnson knowingly is basing every decision on misrepresented and fraudulent data to usher in the UN’s Agenda 2030. Johnson isn’t a Tory, he’s far from it.
And they are more harmful in there production
It’s strange as to why much cleaner LPG fuel isn’t being mandated for use for internal combustion engines rather than electric cars. Existing infrastructure can be mostly used for LPG, whereas millions of homes and flats can’t support electric car charging, let alone the Grid.
If you have everything,but no time you have nothing.If you have nothing,but you have time,you have everything👍🏻
It will save thousands of lives with less pollution in the air. I can't really see a downside
In 10 years time when it’s likely that there won’t be all that many purely ICE cars available anyway
Don’t expect people to rush out and buy them either
Or can afford...
Its extended lockdown in another form
