The worst part of this is that the bulk of it is driven by an incredibly small number of very vocal people and no one wants to be seen by anyone else as disregarding their issues because that would make you think... if they don't give a dam about them... do they give a dam about me?

You seem to have defined Twitter in three lines!

i considered getting an electric van, scrapping gas and going all electric, fitting solar panels and a wind generator. my bank manager fell off his chair.

Does this mean that all the "gas engineers" are to be down graded back to "plumbers"?

Well looking at the data (assuming global warming is actually caused by burning fossil fuels) with the current technology on batteries, from start to finish, mining the raw materials to disposing of the battery at the end of its life, you will need to do 400,000 + miles in your new electric van on the original battery for it to work out "greener" overall than your diesel van. So I'd stick with the old diesel and keep on burning the chip fat.
