Whereas here, if the local autority or Government can stick a "green" tag on an idea, anything goes!
We now face a £950 tax on any new car that emits more than 255g/km of C02 - despite the fact that it'll barely effect C02 emissions from vehicles in general. It's about the money though - the Government stand to make billions out of this alone.
