We stand for it because 99% of the implementation is not being debated in parliament and thus just goes ahead. I've wrote twice and attended the constituency surgery of Grant Shapps once to expound on the stupidness of HS2. The problem is Shapps has RAAC between his ears. He will support and vote for anything his sponsor is doing if it means climbing a little more up that greasy pole. Hence one of the reasons HS2 kept going and he was all in favour of it.

We produce 1% of global emissions, in the last 10 years China has produced more then we have since the beginning of the industrial revolution. They are opening new coal fired power plants daily, meaning if we switched off the UK entirely tomorrow it would have a negligible effect on emissions, but would devastate our country and population. Many respected climatologists who reject this doomsday insanity are ignored deplatformed or even sacked for challenging the narrative. A petition with over 1500 signatures of actual scientist's was recently handed in at No 10, denouncing climate change, you can bet that will be ignored or dismissed. The powers that be want us out of our cars, no meat or dairy products, three sets of clothes a year maximum and one flight every two years. I imagine there will be exceptions for certain members of certain house's. sounds like feudalism.

The challenges are already being sought through the high court by Clientearth,Greenpeace, Good Law project & friends of the earth. Saying as the UK Gov is a fully paid up member to Netzero it will be interesting to see what happens.
The re-date to push the timeline back to 2035 is pretty academic really when the ZEV mandate will still come into force next year whereas 22% of all car manufacturers new vehicles & 10% of all new vans will have to be electric, This will then rise incrementally each year to 80% for cars and 70% for vans in 2030, and 100% for both by 2035. "If a company misses the target, it will be made to pay the Government £15,000 for every vehicle that doesn't comply." https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/man...-for-carmakers

The end is nigh
The fan will finally stop working through lack of power when the s**t hits it.

Exactly, a friend of the wife had a Jaguar I PACE, claimed range was about 300 miles, in the 2 years she owned it the best they did was about half of that and the charge times were ridiculous, it was never the claimed 1 hour to 85%, it was often double that. In the 2 years she owned it they spent so much time in service stations they now have a list of there favourites. They have now swapped it in for a Diesel Mercedes. We had to smile on our return from Cornwall last week. 2 of the cars on the hard shoulder in the 40 mile traffic jam were Teslas and when we went into the service station near Bristol there were dozens of electric cars waiting for the chargers. Including a Coffee and refuel we were on our way in 25 mins, I suspect some of the electric car drivers were going to be there for 3 or 4 hours. |

Your post backs my facts up about Gordano Bristol service area. You know what they say:- you can fool some of the people all the time, and you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time. Although, there are a lot of gullible people about most of the time. I wonder if there are still loads of electric cars around the docks in Bristol? You can see them off the m/way.
