The cynic in me says that might be the intention!

Especially when areas with higher indices of deprivation will be in that one-third. We're creating a two-tier society here and potentially pushing people into poverty by forcing them to buy cars for which there is no cheap alternative.

I'm incredibly fortunate to be in a position to even consider anything electric when my old diesel had to move on, but if i hadn't had a windfall there is no way i would have been able to afford anything other than a second hand ICE. I'm with NW on this - climate crisis measures should not be...

It's a bit bonkers - my PHEV is perfectly capable of driving into Oxford on electric only, but doesn't qualify for a discount, so is classified as an "ultra-low emission vehicle". A Citroen PHEV i was interested in emits a light signal to ULEZ cameras to indicate when it is running in EV mode...

Damn those pesky decimal points!!

From that article:- "According to this data-set the lifetime emissions of a plug-in hybrid average around 28 tonnes of CO2. By comparison, the average petrol or diesel car is estimated to emit between 39 and 41 tonnes of CO2 from fuel during its lifetime, a conventional hybrid would typically...

Anyway, back to the subject of fuel prices ... Friday in Warwick Road, Kenilworth, both the Shell and Texaco were selling E10 at £179.9. Today in Evesham, Tesco are still at £187.9. I understand someone influential has asked the Competition & Markets Authority to investigate the supermarkets who...

Buy an electric, self-charging hybrid, PHEV or ICE, whatever you want, but do more research than Grendel has before you do. I have just bought a PHEV with a real world range of 50 miles. I can charge at home, drive to work on pure electric, charge on my employer's charging network and drive home...

There is a new estate of about 30 houses being built by a housing association near where i live, and they don't have solar panels on their rooves. They should be forced to do so in this day and age.

OK, when China is buying up vast tracts of land in Africa to exploit the mineral resources, they need to be investing in renewable energy schemes there at the same time. Would that work, do you think?

It was only by accident - they thought EastEnders would be on!! But seriously, that is a good figure. I didn't watch a lot of it, but i thought the standard was really high. And that winning goal was technically as good as you'll see in the men's game. Still one thing that troubles me is how...

Signed as centre-back?? :)

"Water required in producing bottles and other parts of production and delivery" will essentially be equivalent to any packaged milk. They factor the amount of water grass consumes in growing into the consumption to produce milk? And yet oats seemingly don't need any water to grow if Tony's...

How on earth does cow's milk take 800 litres of water to produce a litre?

@skybluetony176 NOT in this country it isn't

Thanks for posting that. LG. Those look like the same "British Steel" houses that are on Charter Avenue estate in Canley. Not the "tin shacks" that were mentioned on here the other day. You'll notice from some of the houses that are left in that video that they have had cladding applied to...

The per capita figures are a bit misleading - China looks pretty low on that measure, compared to USA. But when you look at the absolute quantity, China's contribution is an eye-watering 30% of the global total (12 gigatons). We contribute 0.96% (which is admittedly quite a lot for our piddling...

It takes 6,098 litres of water to produce 1 litre of almond milk. 80% of the entire world's almonds are grown in California, and using that much water to fuel a fad is unsustainable for cities like LA and San Diego.

Sadly, Reg, I agree with you. Don't forget India too - they are forecast to exceed the Chinese population in November this year, their power generation is 70% from coal, and their rate of building is generating HUGE amounts of CO2 from concrete production (as is China). Our contribution to...
