Government Disinformation on EVs

But the Government is not doing that. Instead it is deliberately claiming that drivers will benefit from the transition to EVs. But they know full well that by the time ICE cars are banned in 2030, the taxation raised by fuel duty and VAT on fuel will have to be raised from other sources. Consequently drivers may benefit from cheaper charging, but will see those savings cancelled out by road charging or some other revenue raising scheme.Re Posted From: Government Disinformation on EVsWatts Up With That . . .

Should Climate Policy Take a Holiday?

A pause for reflection doesn’t mean abandoning environmental stewardship. On the contrary, it’s about embracing a more thoughtful approach—one that weighs the costs and benefits of every policy. It’s time to move away from rushing toward uncertain goals and instead prioritize solutions that address today’s needs without mortgaging the future.Re Posted From: Should Climate Policy Take a Holiday?Watts Up With That . . .

The Sierra Club’s Temper Tantrum

This press release is less a call to action and more a call to fundraising. It’s a stew of hyperbole, half-truths, and empty posturing, served with a side of smug self-satisfaction. If this is the Sierra Club’s idea of fighting for the planet, maybe we’d all be better off if they just stuck to hiking​.Re Posted From: The Sierra Club’s Temper TantrumWatts Up With That . . .
