Title: Never take government advice...
Post by: Nickbat on 11 February 2010, 11:29:33
"Drivers who took the Government’s advice and chose a low-emission car could be left with a white elephant after a U-turn by ministers.

Britain’s biggest supplier of biofuels will announce today that it is closing its pumps because the Government is ending financial support from April."

Are any sort of these "green technologies" actually viable without government subsidies  :(

Exactly what they did with diesel and the subsidies for LPG conversion. If they can't stick to a consistent plan how do they expect anyone to invest in anything?

..and no. Burning food in cars is not green. >:(

we really shouldn't grow crops for fuel when there's millions starving - it was always ethically dodgy....what next? run your Range Rover on seal puppy fat  :y

Biofuel is just a way to get more money out of you with something that costs the government even less to buy or make they think we're all as thick as them!
