UK Democrats Want To Ban Fossil Fuel Vehicles By 2040

 Nick Clegg’s party has unveiled proposals to only allow ultra-low carbon vehicles on UK roads by 2040.

The controversial measures would mean millions of petrol and diesel cars being forbidden.

Only electric vehicles and ultra-efficient hybrid cars would be allowed on UK roads under the Lib Dem plans.

However, petrol and diesel vehicles would still be allowed for freight purposes.

The plans will be voted on by members at the upcoming Lib Dem conference in Glasgow and could become party policy if approved.

All sorts of people want all sorts of things. As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

While we're at banning fossil fuels, I'd also like to see a ban on poverty, illness, war, substance abuse, non-well-being, meanness, and young guys who wear their pants around their ankles. Good luck with that ;-)
