The government wants all cars to be electric
WHY oh why are we being encouraged by the media to buy electric cars? They are very expensive and are not non-polluting when they are using fossil fuel-derived electricity. They just move the pollution to the power station.
Hybrid cars are to be phased out by around 2025. Why? They are less polluting than electric cars using fossil electricity.
Nuclear power stations are good at not polluting the atmosphere, but the spent fuel hangs around for 10,000 years or more before it is safe to go anywhere near, not to mention the power station when its life is over.
Think about it hard first before you buy an electric only car.
