The climate report published today could accelerate the transition from fossil to electric however agreement on a global basis is needed to move forward in a constructive way and this may prove difficult to achieve. Many years ago a gentleman from London of reasonable wealth procured a Nissan Leaf with a £6000 grant and gained exemption from the congestion charge and the car proved itself financially. He said he felt it was wrong that only the very well off could take advantage of the grant although he was pleased to be able to reduce his carbon emissions. Great thought and care will need to go into ensuring the transition from fossil to electric is equitable and reasonable in so far as it is possible to achieve.
