Yes, that's what he said before invading Ukraine.

A good thing too
HOWEVER, the govt missed the chance to scrap VED and put all charges on pay per mile, for ALL light vehicles, not just EVs.

Arguably, this type and design of reactor was always going to be too expensive and too slow to build.

I had to read well into the article to find the actual MWp figure of 40 MW
November 28, 2025 at 12:56 PM
Interesting, but it's always preferable to state the actual installed capacity in kW, MW etc, rather than the number of panels.
TBF, I also challenge announcements that say 'will power x thousand homes', which also lacks precision.

yes indeed, according to most, 1 to 2 mbpd

bsky.app/profile/prof...
World 1.5MBPD displaced by EVs in 2024.
China 2025

oil markets break on variations > 1-2MBPD
Oil market not about the 100 mbpd we use, but the 1-2 mbpd YOY change
China's vehicle fleet electrification has just removed 250ML/day of China's demand - or >1.5MBPD

It only takes a couple of billion barrels of oil per day of demand to drop off, to trigger a glut. That in turn leads to price instability.
After that point, price of diesel and petrol initially drops, then soars as refineries become uneconomic and close. Then price goes up. Rinse and repeat.

It was timid on cars.
Why not make ALL light vehicles pay per mile, BUT scrap VED?
Getting rid of the flat-rate tax would help low mileage and poorer drivers, whilst simultaneously taxing has guzzlers typically driven by wealthier people, more.

Don't forget "Make PFI illegal".

Not really good news. It will push up the new prices, when what's needed is support for first-time buyers of second-hand EVs.
