Another one looming on the horizon
Does it solve the pollution caused by heavy goods vehicles, psv, private cars pumping tons of PN10 particles into the air via brakes and tyre wear?
No.
Does it help those who only buy cheap old cars (which is arguably more environmentally friendly anyway) and could never afford a 'new' car?
No.
Does it even enter the minds of people that, ok, their new wonderwagen pumps out flowers and fairies from its exhaust but its still as polluting as hell due to the fact it barely gets 30mpg. All that fuel needs to be put into the pumps via a filthy industry.
Are electric/ hybrid cars really the answer?
No.
Not when the range on an average cold January day can drop to as little as 60 miles for some models and charging points are available.
Something somewhere is very wrong with everything skewed to keep a bloated car industry seemingly in charge of policy.
Its way beyond my capacity to even attempt to comprehend what is going on. The last scheme saw some very valuable cars (which would have hardly added to any sort of pollution figures do to usage) and a lot of perfectly usable cars sent for scrap and so called recycling. How is that more environmentally friendly to dispose and process all those fluids and materials that would have been less polluting by being left in the car.
And what about all those cars that were purchased under the scheme? They are now pretty much worthless, ironically some will be worth less than the amount they were given for their old car?
How on earth is this supposed to reduce pollution from emissions from driving, battery manufacture, fuel production? Oil is used for the production of just about every material in your house, scrapping a few old cars is not going to help in any way.
