Congestion Charge goes to £25 in October

C Charge has a chance to get it less wrong this time... and where on earth did the media get this idea that electricity or lpg is 'green?' Nuts. It's still fossil fuels (or mostly, in the case of electricity, the other element coming from lovely environmentally friendly nuke power).

LPG is, of course, not "green" but Co2 emissions are about 15% less than petrol. Natural gas (from Russia with love) has about 1/4 less Co2 emissions than petrol.
Is electricity "green"? It can be. While most of it is not green it need not continue to be "ungreen". Petrol is never green--- not even the so-called "bio-petrol". Right now the most significant roadblock to "green electricity" (e.g. not produced by fossil or nuclear fuels) is not production but distribution. Taking small scale solar, wind and water power generation into a distribution network is one of the biggest problems on the table. The power grids were developed with a model of few large capacity central generating plants-- designed to meet max. peek demands--- and many recipients. The new emerging need is for a highly distributed network with many small to micro scale providers. The german electricity network is, for example, already so overwhelmed by supply that the government is looking to cut subsidies to try to keep it within the limits of network growth.
