You make an excellent point - thank you, @stayoutoftherz It's gotten to the point where being a road user is to be public enemy number one, and it's horrible.
The push towards electrification is going to continue to see problems, as the support infrastructure isn't there yet. Personally, I think there' a lot of life in older cars, which - if used properly - would reduce the need for rare earth metals (of course, that would interfere with the fat cats making big bucks from doing so...hmmm)
One thing I really want to see is the UK doing a U-turn on new combustion engines after 2035. With synthetic fuels, it would extend the life of existing combustion cars (with modifications) and reduce the need for making more and more EV's .
Apologies for the late reply - we've been gallivanting to car events.
