I read somewhere they were stopping internal flights, might have dreamt it though

So how are you meant to get from one end of the country to the other if flights are cancelled, diesels are effectively banned (petrol and hybrids surely to follow)and electric vehicles don’t have the range?

Train? It doesn't answer the boat towing issue but neither does a plane.

We will get what the Teflon messiah dictates
Personal transport will prevail, tourism industry will lobby for 'something' just not sure what yet? We will have HS2 soon, that will take a load of East and West coast mainline, metro in most cities, if we had better weather bikes and motorbikes would play a bigger role.

I guess with an aeroplane you don't need tracks, which must save a bucket load of cash, though the stations are more expensive for the planes.

Maybe we need a breakthrough with solar panels, so one on a car roof provides all the power needed?

We live on a small island but it is tall and oddly shaped if you want Cornwall or South Wales.

Its Hard to understand the benefit of an electric car when they are only cleaner at point of use. Shipping Tesla's from California on an heavy oil burning ship having first off shipped all the raw materials in to California in the first place, won't make it that green. Top that of with lots of sites like this a Gas power station. This one is working all day and night as they have knocked over Didcot. (pop the long and lat in to google to see it) It was suggested that the real benefit of electric cars too me before Corona was control in the fact the charging grid can decide if it will let you charge. Having been very skeptical of this view I now see that Tesla are doing this to some of there cars.

Looks interesting for motorbikes and vintage cars.
