It is accepted that in order for the damage done to the environment by motor vehicles to be stalled, let alone rolled back, there will have to be a profound change in the way we fuel our vehicles. Once upon a time we looked upon unleaded gasoline as the savior – and the difference it has made has certainly been of great benefit, but lead in the fumes was never the only problem with gas-powered automobiles. The next step in changing the way we drive and its environmental impact has to be a move away from gas power, and governments around the world are becoming ever more aware of this fact. This is why more than a few authorities are now talking about – and putting into practice – plans to give tax rebates to motorists who make the move to hybrid and electric vehicles.
