I remember an old text book from school that mentioned predictions of oil running out in 2040
Think it's been revised to 2060 / 70 as of several years ago.
The efforts should be better placed into government sector schemes i.e. electrifying buses (there's a company that makes electric buses already - they look just the same as normal buses and charge at bus stops with what look like large street lights that sit just a few inches above the bus roof. They wirelessly charge at every bus stop and tests have shown they can run 24/7 365 without needing to go into a depot for servicing for extended periods. Brake fade is minimal due to regen braking so it's mainly just tyre changes).
Taxi's should also all be electric as they also spend 95% of their time sat in cities and idling around and can easily charge up at taxi ranks.
Goodness help us if local councils have to come up with ideas. They'll just setup some fax machines and employ a load of untrained admin people to deal with fines for a load of bizarre rules they come up with, that inadvertently end up creating more traffic and pollution.
