I suppose there was always going to be a period of transition where the new technology could fit well with some people and less so with others.
The short term irony is that those who would benefit most and indeed benefit the environment most from clean energy usage are the ones least able to adapt to it in its present form.
If you’re a high mileage driver with a time agenda it’s still quite convenient to use a diesel.
Then there’s the sector of society that would benefit most from lower fuel costs who can’t access it because they can’t afford the vehicle that uses it.
However, all that said, I’m pleased that alternatives are being explored and developed and when the technology and infrastructure has caught up with my needs and wants, I’ll embrace it. For now though, I’ll plod on with my out of date but tried and tested ICE vehicles.
