The hidden aim of the Government, with encouragement from the green lobby, is to vastly reduce the number of vehicles on the roads, particularly those in private hands. It would be political suicide to state this openly, but the Government is fully aware of the electricity supply shortfall. This, together with the ability of “smart” meters to turn off consumers’ supplies, is the means by which vehicle reduction will be achieved.
The green revolution is really a scheme to clear roads of private vehicles
Away from city centres most people need a car to get to work. In many areas public transport is woefully inadequate. Train fares are very high and frequently rising. In remote country areas, normal life would come to a standstill.
I feel that this policy, apart from being very unpopular, would lead to demonstrations, road blocks and even violence.
All this for very little gain in saving carbon emissions on a global scale.
