im pretty sure BP bought the copyright of 2 engines that could run on alternatives to fossil fuels but why should they allow them to be used when they are making so much of petrol etc
the govenment has us all running round pointing fingers at each other and fighting amongst ourselves as to who is to blame and its all the govenments fault in the first place and its up to them not us to sort it out because teh govenment has the power to kick buisnesses up the backside not us

It isn't just businesses to blame for carbon emissions, and everyone should take some responsibility for it. Unfortunately, people still insist on driving their cars everywhere when it isn't even always necessary.
My reasoning for agreeing with this isn't for politics, or to take the blame off businesses, it is simply for everyone to do what they can to reduce their carbon footprint, and if rising prices makes people think twice about using their cars then so be it.
