To me the whole debate is a cake and eat it issue. The politicians want the green vote, but they don't want to spend the money needed to make the green vote viable for the environment we live in. So they fudge things and this last few weeks is what happens.
In the meantime, we'll build some more billion dollar tunnels or elevated rail lines to save one or two lives a year from the millions of humans that infest the joint, ironically many of them inner city green voters who can now travel from their retro-converted Italian slate filled suede curtain kombucha leather carpet bamboo framed warehouse on a fully imported carbon fibre titanium hybrid Chinese rare earth solar cell powered lithium battery boosted not manufactured in my backyard bicycle or scooter, unimpeded by the need to stop at level crossings or for a passing electric car which is by chance also full of the good stuff, leaving the rest of the joint to burn while we suburban plebs sip on our Beaujolais ironically flown in from Beaujolais(In the nuclear powered state of France) and sold to us radiation free at record low prices by Aldi!
All with the very best of intentions! :
