From letters to Honest John (The Telegraph Motoring, Jan 20):

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sir - Please tell Bamber Gascoigne (Jan 13) that if manufacturing CO2 is taken into account, wind-turbines are little better than gas-fired power stations. The greens say electric cars are best, then petrol/electric hybrids or diesels, but their batteries are polluting in manufacture and even worst in disposal. The best way ahead may be to use bio-fuels and lean-burn engines for transport and nuclear power (the lowest CO2 producer according to national Geographic) for electricity production. John Marshall, Lincolnshire .

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Well that laid rest to another myth – the electric car… batteries are not environmentally–friendly, and lots of them that need to be replaced every 5 years are even less so!
