An Australian Parliamentary committee has recommended that petrol and diesel cars be phased out in favour of electric vehicles in a report. This is not yet law but shows that the government is serious about reducing the dependency Australia has on oil and reducing greenhouse emissions.

    I live in a relatively small European (British) city, with a population of around 100,000. It has the highest number of cyclists per capita of any British city and more than half of the population cycle to work, a lot more walk or take public transport. The council is under pressure to introduce a congestion charge because air pollution caused by road vehicles is above the recommended safe level.
