Grass fed cows are great for the environment, their manure renews the soil and they provide nutritious food.
Solar panels are not so good, except at on a roof space, even then they are a poor, unreliable and inefficient means of producing energy.

There have been some associations found with processed meat, but all processed food is bad for your health.Hardly any dairy cows are grass fed and there is a high correlation between many cancers with even fairly moderate meat consumption.
High meat consuming countries - especially salted meats - have poor diabetics and bowel cancer stats
Well as the biggest problem with traffic pollution is due to congestion taxing all types of car seems like a decent idea as it stands. Plus the mining and processing of the minerals needed for electric cars is extremely damaging for the environment. Producing the electricity is getting better but still not exactly environmentally friendly.It seems to also have gone unnoticed that the Labour government has introduced road tax on electric cars including the £40k tax band - as well as starting to put BIK tax on.
Very green

Yes. Why can’t we make transport that doesn’t require physical objects. Teleportation perhaps.

Obviously the main reason they're doing it is for the tax revenue though, and why not. Electric cars tend to be heavier and cause more damage to roads so why shouldn't they pay their fair share of the tax that supposedly is used to maintain roads.
Give it another 3-4 years and they will run off 6 AAA batteries.In terms of Electric Cars. Yeah some of them are quite nice but they would really need to make an amazing deal for me to get one.
Mine is probably worth about £3-£4k now, paid off and owes me nothing apart from diesel, tax and insurance, no monthly payments etc.
What is there to make me want to go out and get a new electric car for probably about £400 a month before insurance (and tax) and then a charger fitting (Which is going to be a nightmare with my drive being a distance away from my house so I dont know if they will want to dig up for the cable).
Yeah it would be nice to charge at home for £4.50 at night to get 200 miles range or whatever, financially (and time wise) it's easier for me to just put £25 quid of fuel and have no monthly payment for it.
They would probably have to gift me one because I don't have to or need to get into debt for a car as things stand.
It's because we as a country have given whole swathes of it to entities like Peel (Liverpool and Manchester especially)Just like most things in the UK, we still manage to find a way to mess potentially good things up

Great, just what we need…more images from crank Americans.So how much more power generation is needed to power electric cars if they comprised 50% of vehicles on the road? At the moment under 5% of vehicles in the UK are electric powered.
Then there is the huge environmental damage caused by mining thematerials for batteries, but no worries that is all in foregin lands.

The original image is one of the most ridiculous FB/Twitter memes I’ve ever seen.Heres some lithium mining:
And some oil drilling:
That's the point I'm making.Its a nonsense idea as they also say they are going to be offering trade in subsidies to get people in them
People are not going to give cars up
If you want less cars on the road the answer is surely public transport. Read a stat that the UK has the worst served big cities, something like the most cities without a mass transit system.
One bus an hour into town isn't going to stop people driving. Being able to turn up and go without looking at a timetable will.
That assumes people work in town though? If I've got to get to town, switch bus and go back out again then there's no convenience.If you want less cars on the road the answer is surely public transport.

If it were free of charge as well would that make any difference?That assumes people work in town though? If I've got to get to town, switch bus and go back out again then there's no convenience.
An 8-12 minute drive now would take 2 buses and about an hour and twenty. Even if it got down to half an hour, why would I do that on a day like today when I can just get in my car with air con and not deal with other people?
Not really because firstly, it wouldn't be and secondly it would cost me probably about 30p in fuel.If it were free of charge as well would that make any difference?
City centre was just an example. The rest of what you say is proving my point. You're not going to take the bus now because it's a shit system, infrequent and takes forever to get you to your destination.That assumes people work in town though?

How many people work in cov city centre nowadays other than retail, bars and severn Trent?
But even if it was amazing. They are only really geared up for city centres which works if that's where everybody worksCity centre was just an example. The rest of what you say is proving my point. You're not going to take the bus now because it's a shit system, infrequent and takes forever to get you to your destination.
But cities with high quality, frequent, reliable and cheap public transport see huge modal shift. The data is there, it works.

Polite response as alwaysYou can’t even drive a car. It’s stupid you even are discussing. Weren’t you moaning public transport was not getting you back to Leamington for midweek games?

The fact is that for a lot of people even at it's very very best public transport is not going to be good enough. It's not going t take you from A to B If you've got children or an elderly person public transport can be an absolute nightmare, and it's just impossible to do a 'big shop' via public transport.If you want less cars on the road the answer is surely public transport.

You can't fly a plane but you were wading in on the air crash topic.You can’t even drive a car. It’s stupid you even are discussing. Weren’t you moaning public transport was not getting you back to Leamington for midweek games?

It's about travelling and everyone has to do that. And having the opinion of someone who can't drive and is therefore reliant on other forms of transport is a very important voice in that conversation.
But if it's essential to life how do people without a car function?It really isn’t as most people drive and can understand why a car is essential in life. Trying to tell people to take public transport when that’s all they can do is totally different
When the council built that dumbass island at Fletchamstead highway Colleen Fletcher said people needed to drive properly. She couldn’t drive.
No one is giving a car up and take public transport - it’s a view that can only come from someone who can’t drive a car
