Announced late Tuesday night will focus on a range of areas including carbon capture and storage, low-carbon hydrogen generation, offshore wind and nuclear energy.
Given that internal combustion engine vehicles still represent the majority of vehicles driven on U.K. roads, there are clear hurdles to overcome if the 2030 target is to be met.

[Boris Johnson is what the GOP will be in a decade or two should the steal go through.]
Yep, with a “sin” tax.
One or two horsepower cars are the solution. The luxury models will get four horsepower.
I think the plan is to force people to use the lousy public transpo.
You laugh. My great-grandmother fled what is now the Ukraine just before WWII. The Soviet sympathizers in her town were instructing herders to give their meat to the government and go to the local markets for their food. The problem was that those local markets were bare, and any meat that was there was often horse or worse, dog.
They’re pushing this plant-based meat BS on us from all corners. Don’t be surprised if someday soon the local butcher is only selling that stuff. They want to cull bovine herds because of “global warming.” No meat for you!
Bingo
You aren’t going to get a car, get it? They can wind power a car because very few will have them. You probably will not have air conditioning and heat will be controlled by them.
Welcome to Communist Utopia where life is dark year round.
Minus the good weather, and plus Indians and Pakis...
I think the plan is to force people to use the lousy public transpo.
Bingo.....
Yep control their movement and you can control the people. Same reason trains are such a big deal in dem cities here in the states.
Bring back steam trucks!
Ya don't need a car to queue in the bread line, but ya will to get the bread home to the kids intact.
Post 6 .... Good observation.
More of “the great reset”/ U.N. Agenda 2030. Turns out Boris was part of the globalist cabal all along. Fooled me.....
Cuban auto mechanics, who use duct tape to keep cars running, will be a valuable commodity.
I predict 2 year college courses - “Keep old cars running” Degree
California and New Jersey have already adopted a similar ban.
If Biden’s puppet masters get in expect that to go nationwide.
Unfortunately for civilization there are nitwits everywhere.
An investment opportunity - buy and mothball a couple ICE cars before then.
Another “conservative leader” betraying his base. They might as well have elected Newsom.
