Higher tax for 4x4's?

Suppliers are already being asked to produce five per cent of transport fuel from renewable sources like crops by 2010, and Dr Ladyman said the target would have to be increased after that date.

Hmm, so why are the exchequer making the use of vegetable-oil fuels more expensive to use than fossil fuels at present?? Have a look at the price of commercially produced bio-diesel too; constantly a few pence a litre more than fossil!!!
And why only 5%, unless it's to keep the petroleum companies sweet; all diesel could be bio; where's the problem in that?? Apart from the obvious one of upsetting the oil magantes, of course!!!
Also these people are STILL totally ignoring the fact that the majority of the pollution any vehicle including electric/hybrids produce in their lifetimes, is in their production!!!! - the government cannot simply go on exhaust emissions, as this is a tiny fraction of the total; Land Rovers are, in fact one of the greenest vehicles around, given the enormous amount of them still on the road; how many 50+ year old Toyotas will there be on the roads in 2056? Very few I suspect!!

In one year ONE cow can emit <proportionately> the same amount of METHANE into the atmosphere as TWO Discovery 3 diesel doing 12,000 miles p/a can emit carbon dioxide.

If that doesn't sound like bliss to you then go back to wesminster.
Oh just had anouther thought, what if there were no layers either?

Isn't one of the European countries like that - all the cabinet posts are done on a selection basis similar to jury duty and you get called up and told "You are the prime minister for the next six months"...?
