Fully agree. "Cheaply" being critical here hence vanadium always being hard to reconcile as an investor.

It has been through our household over the last few weeks and symptoms this time were quite different. Not much coughing, a day of fever then lots of headaches and nausea for a week.

(Yes, I understand those are not the same thing)

Yes a good first step and sensible to allow those communities who want it. Intrigued as to what the smallest physical area in the UK gas grid this could be feasible within might be. If a majority wanted to switch to e.g. networked heatpump infrastructure could a single London street make the move?

Thanks, read the paper and not sure why a tax incentive targetted at high earners (BiK) is a good way to reduce emissions but a flat rate one (smmt proposal to halve VAT) is prioritising company profits over net zero ambitions. Wouldn't the cash be better spent on active travel either way?

There are still very large fiscal incentives through company car schemes. Do you think these should stay or nows the time to phase them out?

Every industry wants taxpayer handouts so I get why the SMMT are making a fuss but the data just doesn't back up the case that government needs to act. Now is the time to stay the course with the ZEV mandate and think about how company car EV subsidies can be gently withdrawn too.

The EV market has shifted this year from direct purchase to more people buying through their employer company car schemes. This has made the "private EV sales" numbers look bad but the industry can't honestly say this is a barrier to "mass market" when 60% of all sales are defined as Fleet.
