      Yes, definitely. Our government is making some progress with that as Diesel is really bad at polluting the environment and they are getting more highly taxed and they are slowly putting a stop to the manufacture of diesel cars. Even petrol ones aren’t good for the planet. The development of electric cars, I think, is a step in the right direction but the key thing to make them better for the environment is making sure we make electricity more cleanly. I think that solar power cars have been tested, but the problem with some countries (particularly think about the UK!) is that it’s not always sunny. There’s lots of development needed, I think quicker than it’s happening, but hopefully we’ll have many more people like you thinking about things like this to be able to get there sooner 🙂
