Told you all. That’s all I will say on it for now
You called it correctly 1984. The reality is starting dawn on governments that the transition will cost.
It was always obvious to anybody with a brain.
Only the sheep/idiots thought it could happen
Wokes are in meltdown on twatter! What a glorious moment
1984
The only thing that happened was they they won a by election they thought they had zero chance of winning and they are pinning that on ULEZ.
net zero will happen, the US are spending billions on it, in LA they are giving houses 20-30k to install batteries and panels.
You cant get a Tesla power wall free in the uk, you can in the states.The adverts are everywhere.
When it’s cheaper to go green people will embrace it, what they don’t know is it’s already cheaper.
It’s already cheaper in the US by a huge difference.
Tesla, I'm guessing you're a member of the affluent middle class who can afford heat pumps, solar panels, expensive electric cars etc. The fact is the overwhelming majority of people in this country cannot and whatever Sunak announces is merely a reflection of that reality.
It was telling that the Labour shadow bloke, whilst squealing like a stuck pig, refused to say if Labour will overturn Sunak's changes. If they went into the next election telling the population exactly how much these arbitrary targets will cost individuals, that would be the end of their victory hopes, and they know it.
Good morning addicknt.
Heat pumps are now affordable with a UK government grant of 5000 Pounds and the new generation are better value.
However octopus energy are bringing out a cheaper more efficient heat pump over the next twelve months.
Solar is near break even over a ten year period.
Yes electric car's need to come down in price.
But we are getting there.
Sunaks announcement is a vote loser. If he goes ahead he loses my vote, and the UK will lose a competitive edge in being a leading developer of green technologies.
Q, but the point is you're not the type of person who matters. By that I mean you are not one the millions who have no savings at all and are struggling on a day-to- day basis just to pay their rent. These people swung the last election and will dictate who ends up in power next year.
I agree addicknt.
But a large section of those people are least likely to vote.
The ones that will are the poorly paid who have families.
They want a better greener future for their children and better greener high technology jobs that pay better.
2025 for gas and 2030 for the phasing out of ICE vehicle's is achievable, doesn't require any government investment and the second hand market in cars will still be buoyant for ten to fifteen years later.
I myself drive a diesel Euro 6 with 100 grams of CO2 per kilometre so zero car tax. It's my daily driver and can fit everything in it while doing 60 MPG.
I would like an electric car but not going to switch until more affordable.
I believe we will get a labour majority but not an outright win.
So a hung parliament.
Then the dirty dealing starts.
It maybe that the lib Dems can't get enough seats and they need to do a deal with the SNP.
That to me is the worst of all scenarios.
Eco-fascism and the Brazilification of the West through open border policies are just one election away from being unstoppable. I'm glad I grew up in the 70s, 80s and 90s - we had freedoms kids today will never know, sexual, political, civic, legal, social, the world was physically out there to be conquered in the sun and rain, not on our phones, we weren't fearful ninnies who only became brave when part of the latest Twitter lynchmob and we didn't wear masks and cower before a non-existent climate emergency.
No surprise to see the Tesla brigade think it’s just a little delay, they’re far too stupid to see the actual problem in that this rubbish is not achievable
There is some kind of announcement on Friday. I’ve got a hunch they’re going to announce the mini reactors for nuclear power
The ones made by rolls Royce, might be a prudent punt to buy a few of their shares
“I would like an electric car but not going to switch until more affordable.”
This is the guy who first boasted his number I’d solgold shares were in the millions and followed up by telling us that was only 5% of his portfolio allowing us to calculate his portfolio value was somewhere around the £11m mark
And he can’t afford one the little American jelly mould milk floats??
1984
Just remind me of the most valuable car company in the world?
I’m sure you wish you’d invested 3 years ago.
Electric cars have come down massively in price and they are already way cheaper to run than ICE, I know because I’ve had both have you?
I appreciate those renting and struggling with all the cost of living increases will be angry with having costs forced on them but London is way cleaner than it was just 10 years ago. How anyone can say polluting ICE cars are good for the environment and people’s health is nuts.
Have you seen coal and gas fired power systems and all the pollution they emit.
Perhaps you should try driving a nice EV and how relaxing there are to drive on motorways etc
As for cost, 20k miles in an EV v ICE is a no brainer in favour of the EV
Again Slug you are seen as unintelligent and a liar, who cannot do basic maths.
The 5% figure was a rough guide and reffered to my purchase price which is averaged at 4.6 pence a share
Like anyone else I will not overpay or buy something I don't need.
You really are a prize fool.
Good grief slug I know you are the most unintelligent poster on here, but to suggest you can't see any think older than 2013 on my site.
The answer is maybe I got banned and came back as another name.
That is beyond idiot as quady has been a member since 2011, which you still can't get your single Braincell round.
Maybe that has malfunctioned.

They weren’t that expensive.
I had a new gas boiler fitted at a property last year and 2 heat pumps fitted at home, the difference in installation for both was £1300 fir the heat pumps on a property 3 times the size of the gas boiler property.
Admittedly I had panels, batteries and new radiators fitted as well to make it work more efficiently.
The cost of gas at home in October was the same as the heat pumps in January.
However heat pumps v gas boiler not that much difference in installation costs with the grant. Heat pump installation costs have dropped substantially since last year.
If I had had more time, and know what I know now, I would have swapped the gas boiler for a heat pump without question.
That’s strange, you were crowing you had two not long back at a cost of £4500 each
Normal families haven’t got that cash and if they did manage to save a few grand it’s more likely to be spent on a holiday or upgrading the car than some woke utopian wet dream.
They’ve got a boiler and a heating system already and if the country wasn’t held by the throat by transgender green extremists, we’d all have cheap power to keep warm
Quady….show me one of your posts from prior to 22 mar 2013 then! Simple
While you’re at it, are you finally admitting you were wrong about the BHP bod percentage or am I going to have to take your pants down in front of everyone once more?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
What’s strange about it, they were £4500 each incl vat, when you work the figures out allow for the grant it was £3800 incl installation and no Vat on the heat pumps. The gas boiler was £2500.
Perhaps a lot of people cannot afford the outlay initially but anyone that can and there are lots that can can easily justify the cost with the ROI. Just because you are too blinkered in your old habits does not mean everyone else is.
Electric is ridiculously cheap compared to fossil fuel energy and that is only going one way when they reduce the reliance on the electric price off of the gas price which the UK still does.
You carry on blowing your hard earned cash, on your fossil like ways, while everyone else moves into the 21st century.
I’ll appreciate the clean air in central London this weekend, having traveled 200m there and back thanks to the free public charger close by……..
So how can you subsidise 30 million homes in the U.K. at a price of £5,000 per house…..with taxpayers money, ie our own
How do you get a free charge when 40 million cars all want to use one free charger?
Where do people who live in flats put a heat pump pr a charger?
Why were there zero bids for new wind turbines the other week? Because even with huge subsidy they are no longer feasible
Meanwhile many lifetimes supply of cheap gas lies right beneath our feet going to waste
Clown world
Got two new grandaughters.
Switched my AMG for a Volvo Hybrid.
I'll never own an EV. Their manufacture alone does massive damage to the environment.
I've also never bought a new car in 55 years...
Dear me red giving your age away there, you’re not even allowed in a Volvo showroom until you’re seventy.
Hybrids are the best if both worlds, clean school and supermarket runs but proper range when you’re going somewhere more distant
But they weren’t good enough for the eco fascists
Lol…..every car manufacturer is preparing for EVs, small ICEs will be too expensive to manufacture with the EU7 directive.
Sunak’s olive branch will make zero difference to the world wide adoption of BEVs
EVs will be so cheap in the next 5 years with 500m+ range, the Merc EQE is already 400 ish before the new technology hits.
The wind turbine zero bids are because the companies wanted a greater guaranteed cost which was still way below the cost of burning fossil fuels.
You keep on burying your head in the sand about the cost we-hike everyone else makes hay.
Even if I didn’t have access to the free charger its less than £3 for the 200m trip to charge or at home, hmmm let me think shall I go and fill up at a garage for £50 or charge it over night at home for £3…….that’s a tough one
You twist the figures to suit your agenda, the difference was £1300, for a house 3 times the size and it has got cheaper in the last 12 months for heat pumps.
You can lead a horse to water.
The red ramper with a hybrid…….lol
So what will be your argument when EV’s have a 1000mile range
