Hmmm!

AutoExpress: Electric cars would cut CO2 emissions by only 0.4 per cent.

That's right.
There's no such thing a free energy.
There's always an environmental cost in addition to a financial one, and usually both.

Did you read it? The issue isn’t that it doesn’t reduce the environmental cost. It’s the argument I’ve heard for days by anyone of a gammon hue, there’s no point if China doesn’t.

Nothing to stop you from reducing your carbon footprint to zero. Set us all an example.😁

Do you ever actually manage to make a valid argument?

I think it's quite valid. Reduce your carbon footprint to zero. Show us Gammons how it is done.
