If/when we go down that route the greenest electrical supplies won't be enough. We'll need trade offs in electrical generation vs ecological damage, such as tidal barriers or construction of nuclear plants. Or the green lobby, on environmental grounds, lobby to ban all private transport on sustainability grounds and we all end up on an electric buses. Quote
pistonbroke Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 No point in us all getting worked up and excited about this . diesel, petrol , battery , nuclear , none will be any use soon , its a known fact that the end of the world is nigh, so make the best of it while you can We're all doomed anyway Quote
Lawrie Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 For a year they've been able to ban old diesels in Paris (Grenoble and Strasbourg are/were next with more to come) when it gets a bit polluted. Every car going into a controlled zone has to have a sticker (or be fined, even foreigners) There are 5 categories depending on the age of the car's launch, so they can ban the oldest (presumed worst) polluters first. Anything over 20 years old is stuffed. Then there's the London Low Emission Zone. Thin end of the wedge chaps Quote

DonPeffers Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 So 15 March 2018 then; but 15 March 2017 was supposed to be the end after Trump was elected. Quote
