"Sales of new electric cars in the UK plummeted by nearly 90% in 2009 compared with their peak in 2007, according to motoring trade association figures released this week.

The huge fall is a blow to UK efforts to meet tough carbon emission cut targets in a decade, and comes just months before the government introduces a subsidy of up to £5,000 off new electric cars.
- Nearly half of the electric vehicles sold last year were the tiny G-Wiz car. The latest model has a

Politicians and profiteers have reached the end of the road having run out of other peoples' money. They assume wage earners won't complain because they've been conditioned not to.
