There's no way we can meet our climate objectives without moving away from ICE vehicles. Fortunately for us it's a non-issue, there will be plenty of ICE cars available for petrolheads to drive for a good 20 or 30 years after that - always assuming we can afford to buy the petrol and withstand the social disapproval. It won't be long before driving a petrol car will be as socially non-u as smoking.
While we're on the subject of climate objectives, I heard someone talking about this n Radio 4 earlier this week. I'd be interested in your take about on this article on the Rolls Royce consortium to build small nuclear plants Tim, as you are so knowledgeable about the industry. It's an idea my dad (an ax submariner) has been banging on about for years, arguing that the experience Rolls Royce have garnered in producing the power plants for nuclear subs mean that should be less surprises and cost overruns than, say, Hinkley style projects as the technology and experience already exists.
