The interesting part to all this is that we believe we live in a democracy where the government reacts to the needs and requirements of the majority of the public. The truth being that once we get past an election they can do what they want based on any spurious theme that is believed to be a future vote winner.
I cannot recall any news item that stated the general public had agreed that electric cars would save the planet and we should abandon what we have now.
Granted you cannot halt progress but I am still not convinced that setting strict cut off deadlines resulting in huge wastage is the way to go - or that electric cars are as environmentally friendly as those pushing them to the forefront make out.
But how do you challenge it in our so called democracy??
