Bugger me - I think there's a planet out there somewhere that's missing an inhabitant...

If you think in a few years time semis wont be banned from congested cities, and there cargo wont be dropped of out of town then reloaded onto greener vans.(which is exactly what I said will happen) Then don't get on a horse, just go get some drugs that may help your thankers and your delusions.

dear me. if you really believe this will happen in australia, then you really do need stronger meds or a better shrink.

define 'a few years'??

do some simple research and maths regarding the amount of tonnage carried by diesel transport, and then work out how many 'greener' vans will be required to distribute this throughout the areas that are currently serviced by diesel haulage.

its fine to be an idealist. but idealists and reality are generally poles apart.

I never mentioned Australia I only said congested cities. I predict it will happen in Melbourne and Sydney in 15 years. For the most congested cities in the world I think its already happening, if not London, Tokyo, LA, Rio, Rome and about 50 cities in China and Asia its only 2 years off.

Maybe steam will make a comeback as a mainstream power source?

Steam turbines powered by nuclear fission are still pretty mainstream.

Yes, the load of frozen fish has been dropped at our outer depot and is currently being reloaded into our fleet of smaller greener vehicles for your convenience.

Yes they are now to make that package smaller and safer to be used in other things besides power generation would be the challenge.
