Tesla's sales meanwhile dropped 48.5% from a year ago as BYD's sales jumped by 206.8%

And taking away or placing a cap on the cycle scheme, which would mean electric bikes that can be used to move the kids to school are no longer covered.

Bikes are less polluting and require a lot less resources to build. They also damage the roads 100,000 or so times less than an electric car. Any subsidy on bikes will go longer than on cars, and provide more value.

dire and this country's majority supports the far right

I agree with most of your points, but I wanted to point out that reform is not the majority of voters, only the largest block. In previous elections the majority of votes were cast for left leaning candidates, but First Past the Post meant they were under represented on Parliament.

Not to mention that road degradation grows exponentially with the weight.

For instance, the damage caused by a 1 tom car is the equivalent of 160,000 cycle trips! And a 2 ton car will damage the road 16 times more than a 1 ton car.

Ah! Nice one... But no, it will be Oracle. They have paid Tony Blair about £250 in the last few to spew their nonsense, and Larry Ellison has spoken loudly about well behaved everyone will be once they can monitor everything we do.

Sounds like a police state paradise.

I haven't seen the video, but I'm gonna go on a limb here and wonder if it has to do with Republican policies?

The one they dropped years ago?

The problem with my nuclear when mixed with renewables is that they take too long to turn on and off (think 12-24h), so they are not great complement solar and wind.

They are also very expensive, and take years to build, and decades to recoup the investment. Renewables are a lot cheaper, and can be built straight away, making their investments a lot less risky. They are also evolving faster than nuclear, snd becoming cheaper.

They are, S of today the cheaper power source in most of planet. It is expected that in a couple of years they won't just be the cheapest, but they will be so cheap it will make economic sense to dismantle other powers plants and build solar/wind+ battery than to keep gas running.

That's probably one of the best endorsement you can get

No. And especially not from him
