IFS warns the switch from fossil fuel to electric will cause tax revenue to drop £28bn
Yup
>The ideal approach, it added, would be a system of road pricing under which the charges for driving would vary according to the time of day and the location. Those driving in busy places would pay more, but the majority of journeys would be taxed less heavily than at present, the IFS said.
Thats the fun thing about punitive taxes like carbon tax
Youi get used to the revenue
so the incentive becomes to perpetuate the thing that is giving you that tax
It's a sharp AF double edged sword
``There was an advantage in acting quickly, the IFS warned, because it would be much harder politically to introduce such taxes only once the revenue from fuel duties had dropped much further and many people had bought hybrid or electric cars in the expectation of paying little tax on them``
yeah
that wont go down well
They won't say they're doing it. They'll just do it.
If you want EV savings invest early and get the savings before it doesnt even matter
Same with grants for things like wind energy to make it affordable
That has to go away eventually
and wind either has to step up and be less shit energy density wise or it won't look good for new investments in it
just look at them
and you will understand
Its a religion for the unreligious
Only question is how long will this cult last
They are genuinely worse then even the Religious Fundamentalists
EV isn't coming any time soon
That is the gist of what i was saying yes
Boris might actually be able to Leave by Oct 31st
That's if Merkle doesn't turn around and say no anyway.
Merkle can get bent
the 2 most important nations regarding brexit are Ireland and UK
Because Ireland land borders the UK on over 300 roads
the border goes through houses and farm land
pretty much a hard border is impossible really
the border is a mess lmao
You need to go through NI and Ireland several times just to get down to the south sometimes
because it was never meant to be
4 times on one main road

That's a bit broad, but yeah, that's quite likely
