P P asked:


People who own cars that have high c02 emissions are going to be taxed more under the guise of a ‘green tax to encourage green behaviour’.

The only logic here is that the government want people to scrap their old cars and buy new lower emission ones.

How green is it to scrap a perfectly good car and replace it with a new one?

Where would there be figures/data for this?

They run on electricity, and that means they don’t belch out loads of fumes into the atmosphere.

But that electricity has to be generated in a power station before it can be used in the car, and nine times out of ten, you can be sure that it was generated from fossil fuels.

So surely, electric cars are still responsible for polluting the planet.

That’s just about the dumbest, most poorly thought through answer I’ve ever read.
