RE: Fantasyland announcement from Bojo18 Nov 2020 10:07
Those carping on about the banning of petrol vehicles need to get their heads out of the sand.
All car manufacturers are moving away from petrol/diesel, and new technologies will come on leaps and bounds in this timeframe. Range of vehicles and prices will drop over time too. It is happening whether you like it or not.
It is not just BoJo on his own doing this, other governments are too, and there has already been a marked shift from Petrol/diesel vehicles whether you agree with this, or not.
The renewable/eco drive is really gathering pace. There is space for different technologies and will be for a considerable time.
BUT, you can still buy a petrol/diesel car for the next 10 years, and they aren't banning all petrol/diesel vehicles as of this date, so people will still be driving petrol/diesel vehcles for another 20/30 years. Longer still, perhaps.
Everyone knows oil products will still be needed, well past most of our lifetimes too, they will just be gradually phased out in favour of newer and cleaner technologies.
Everyone still has a choice (for now).
It is NOT a matter of one, or the other, full stop, like many seem intent on making it out to be.
Some people just seem so blinkered with their own viewpoint and cannot accept that different people have different opinions and make different choices.
This announcement will not make any difference to ukog and its activities
