Taxpayer Funded Environmentalism - The TaxPayers' Alliance

a new nil charge group for vehicles that emitted less than 120 g/km of
CO2 would effectively encourage a large increase in the number of small
diesel cars driving within the congestion charging zone, which would have
a significant negative impact on both congestion and air quality.”
Effectively Environmental UK propose not rewarding consumers who choose to buy fuel
efficient cars and the government picking winners in emerging technologies.
