Letters / Electric vehicles will soon be out of date
Why should Lerwick go green? I have never seen clouds of smog hanging over any part of this archipelago.
If the big smoke of Lerwick is made car free where are the car parks that people will use for the park and ride buses? Fewer cars in the centre of the town would mean more mobility scooters, the pavements aren’t wide enough.
How do I get to and from work when I’m working night shifts 34 miles from my home? Will crofters be banned from using quads or towing trailers with their fossil fuel burning vehicles. Why only Lerwick, why not all of Shetland?
The attraction of Shetland is that is not like the homogenised mainland UK. We have wind to blow away doom laden clouds.
EV cars will soon be out of date, hydrogen is the future. Even Aberdeen has hydrogen powered buses…
