The sale of petrol and diesel cars will be banned five years earlier than planned, under a climate change drive to be unveiled by Boris Johnson

The Government announced in 2017 that it would impose a ban on diesel and petrol cars from 2040 as part of an effort to tackle air pollution.

Are you bringing in cheaper replacements and electricity

I have petrol car and i support this environment protection initiatives. Let revolution began. BJP4India INCIndia narendramodi AmitShah TOIIndiaNews ndtv republic CNNnews18 DDNewslive

FBPETrundlelin Thinking of buying one of these electric gems, a bargain £60K....but 5% off if you can phone a friend and get them to buy one too, gotta make sense for the environment

How about something a little more ambitious. All new cars at least hybrid by 2025. Solves some of the issues early and starts the process.

That is not possible

You are advised not to hold your breath when that is supposed to happen

KanchanGupta Screw that - more urgent is the need to ban all islamists from coming into the UK and to deport the ones already illegally in the country

CDNEnergyCentre can you send jkenney back over to 're-educate' Boris?

KanchanGupta This is a good initiative. But it needs to be accompanied by increased proportion of energy from solar and wind in the electric grid. Otherwise, its benefits are questionable. GreenEnergy ClimateAction

More left wing lunacy.

Sounds positive.

This is a joke, surely?

And where's all the lithium ..cobalt and charging infrastructure going to come from ?. The reality of the current tech vs aims .. but ..cancel hs2 and you'd have £106 billion to get started

The ' planned ' is a smart word. 😂😂

High cost to pay elsewhere, after you mine lithium salt nothing grows on the spoil and its higly toxic to the miners

InsiderOilers So, a right winger can accept that climate change is real.....are you paying attention realDonaldTrump & CPC_HQ leadership candidates?

Dear jkenney, MattWolfAB Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha yyc ableg abpoli CalgaryHerald

Hydrogen developers may get a move on in that case. Electric cars aren't much use if the infrastructure isn't everywhere, for every car on the road (plus electricity production has to also be green). Hydrogen can be filled like a normal fuel tank.

Even BJ has been infected by the climate cult virus.

Lets forget the facts and carry on with the hysteria

Yeah, right.

your electric car (government car) won't work if you tell racist jokes.

Says man who will be nowhere near lose by then so can't be held accountable May as well guarantee we'll have a colony on Mars by 2060 as well

Greta says “There’s a good boy Boris”

ok so what is alternative ?

Complètement fou.
