nuclear power stations are being built which have their own brand of pollution: highly dangerous radioactive waste which needs to be stored for thousands of years. And when something goes wrong as it did at Windscale and Chernobyl?
I can appreciate the advantages of electric cars though, once the charging problem has been sorted out. They also have the advantage of keeping the wheels of commerce turning. I'd like to see leisure craft for hire on our rivers and canals abandon diesel engines for electric traction but that wouldn't attract many votes at the general election.
