Reply To: Boris Johnson urged to launch £1 billion diesel scrappage scheme

[graham cox]

I think the people who are coming up with thease ideas need to get in the real world
diesels are the choice of many because they offer reasonable costs to fuel and run
electric is not the answer by any means
hybrids from what we have found in the workshops are ok when new after warranty is out buyer beware
the consumer is confused as to what to do and now the car sales are suffering
we need a clear policy from the top and also other industries need to be looked at example we look after a lot of farmers cars etc we are told that all of there equipment is still unregulated and pushing out lots of pollution the lorry firm next to us still fill the yard with fumes on start up the factory on our estate is meting plastic in diesel powered kilns thease are all within 5 minutes of us in a rural location
there needs to be a major rethink and stop making the cars the main culprit
