Reduced population.

We should be converting our gas boilers to hydrogen. Hydrogen would then be piped as natural gas is today. Then we wouldn’t be forced into those damn fool air source heat pumps which cost a fortune to not heat your house.

The problem is that modern safety requirements have driven the increase in size, added to which bigger batteries are needed to give satisfactory range.

Isn't the wildly different tech in 25 years a good argument for someone to stay with ICE?

They do depreciate quicker. In terms of maintenance, have you had to change the battery yet? They really aren’t the answer without mahoosive investment in charging infrastructure and reduced public charging costs, and can you see that happening?

Good long range EVs cost a lot of money, beyond the reach of the average working man. Charging at home is not an option for many people - terraces, flats, older properties. Not everyone lives in a city, although that will obviously change with your building plans. My car is the most...

Preferably internal combustion engine,

Is it beyond the poor little lambs to get off one train and get on another?

The problems of predicted under capacity seem to be because of plans to use HS2 rolling stock on existing lines. So don’t do that.

That’s terrible.

How can Leeds not disclose their full pricing structure? Presumably people know what they pay before they pay it,

But would have been a better PM than Johnson.

He already plays for a decent side.
