The Daily Express reported on 27/04/2022 that the Government’s Chief Science Adviser (Sir Patrick Valance) laid out a path to tackling global warming yesterday that included eating less meat, cycling to work and flying less. But he said the idea that everyone should buy an electric vehicle was “totally impossible”.
He told the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee: “It’s all very well to talk about buying an electric car, but it’s totally impossible for the vast majority of the population.”
