Electrical Vehicle Campaign
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 12:39 pm
In spite of the recent fuel crisis, transport still seems to be conspicuously absent in environmental campaigns. After complaining about this considerably so a FoE member, I've been encouraged to take it on myself. So I've been sending the following letter to a number of people in power. I interested in getting your thoughts about it, and how I might take it further.

I'd like to re-write it into some kind of petition or something. Tell me what you like and what you don't like in it. The exact plan is not so important as the idea that getting off the oil really can be done now. Every time I see things in the news about Brown trying to get the oil producing countries to step up production or Bush talking about off-shore drilling, I am left screaming at the TV.
But there is only so much influence that one person can have. Perhaps we could start some kind of alternate vehicle or Freedom from Oil action group.
What do you think?
