I don't think electric lorries are quite there yet. If you consider that might be just about suitable for a big artic, but it wouldn't work for anything smaller. They talk blithely about electric tractors too, but nobody has even developed one yet as far as I know, and they are going to be far too expensive for the likes of us.
I am still not sure about which way things are going. I understand that we need to reduce our use of fossil fuel, ideally to nothing, but it reminds me a bit of what happened some years ago when we had to stop using CFCs, which were used for degreasing, defluxing and all sorts in the electronics industry. I don't know what happened in the long run, as they were still floundering around trying to find alternatives when I went off long term sick, but it could take 10-20 years to find a new way forward which will settle in one groove. |
