Death of diesel

[shyVRS245]

Starting a diesel in Chicago today might be tricky given a high of -27C (windchill -45C). Frostbite after 5 minutes if skin is exposed. Must be Global Warming.

Some would be better off if the car did not start.

According to Boris Johnson MP/ PM the end of being able to buy new diesel, petrol and hybrid cars in the UK in just 15 years and maybe sooner if that can happen.

(In Scotland it is already 12 years so 2032)

So that is for them no longer to be on the roads by 2050.  

We will see.  Well maybe not me.

 

Article Headline says vehicles, & tv / radio presenters are saying the same, i think that is passenger cars...

No way can there be electric vehicles available in the UK 15 years to replace diesel HGV's, tractors, heavy plant etc.
