Some good points raised. Here today8 Feb 2018 15:55
Peekayokay, I agree with your points, as we all know from political promises, they are barely good enough to cover the term they are serving. Never mind 10, 20+ years from now. And what about the cost of electric cars. It�s taken Tesla years to get to the model 3, which has always been the goal of the company, to make an affordable family electric car. Well I�m a huge Tesla fan, but the model 3 is expected to sell for approx �35k. There are other manufacturers of course, but nobody is close to the cost of diesel or petrol cars. This would be a big enough issue for developed countries with a strong economy. What about developing countries.... �35k for a car may as well be �35m !!!
Then we have planes, plastics and just about everything in between that require oil.
Just for clarity, I�m a huge electric car advocate and I�d have a model 3 in a second. But I don�t have �35k (it�s tied up here).
I just don�t see us moving away from oil in the transport sector for a very long time.
Just my own thoughts on the matter. ATB
