No, no, you don't understand: It will be a wonderful socialist utopia where everybody has an equal amount of money doled out by the state, there'll just be one type of car and everybody gets one and nobody will need to work. ;)

There will need to be an answer to this problem though. Even if we develop new industries that can't easily be automated the rate of change will be drastic and a lot of people will lose their jobs. It will even more dramatic if the money from these services funnel into a handful of companies.

Heard it all before.

Hopefully I'll be long gone by then.

Big corporations wanting to sell you crap = them providing a chunk of profits to enable us to buy said crap plus the creative industries will flourish, new industries will be born and governments will legislate to ensure a certain amount of people are kept employed or else they won't be selling said crap in those countries

There'll be one type of car for us and a very different choice for our grand leaders and Eurocrats you can bet.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban (2040).

I am hoping I get one in return for being so relentless upbeat on the prospect.

Only one of the proposed plans, but it shows how the figures can be fiddled by moving vehicles away from monitored areas... or remove the buildings.

Wonder what it is about Caerphilly that produces the heaviest pollution outside London. Seems extreme. :erm:

Although moving vehicles around can help as it's the concentration of pollution in any one place that is damaging to people's health. The same amount of pollution spread out is better in that respect although I don't know if it has the same impact on the environment or not.

Obviously abolishing homes is a bit over the top. Although looks like the residents aren't opposed as the road seems pretty bad to live on.
