LOCOMOTIVE ACTS - Governments around the world know that petrol and diesel powered vehicles pollute the air and cause cancer, but they are still twiddling their thumbs to make a few more $dollars out of fossil fuels and internal combustion engines, and keep themselves sweet with auto makers and oil companies.
LOCOMOTIVE ACT 1865, also known as the RED FLAG ACT, required:
38 YEARS OF DENIAL
From 1865, through 1896 through to 1903 and beyond, politicians in the UK used their positions of trust to hinder progress. That is 38 years and more of blocking technology, by the very people who should have been looking to advance technology.
The modern cars we rely on today are the product of the Collective Human Brain. We stand on the shoulders of giants and take our conveniences for granted.
If it took 38 years for our (then) leaders to recognise the advantages of the motor car, what chance have we got to halt Global Warming?
ROADS FOR VEHICLES - If the state of an economy can be measured by the condition of the country's roads, we and neck high in a slurry pit of cow pats. Of course that is true, as anyone looking at National Debts can see. But how did it get so bad? Where have all our taxes gone? Where has our Road Fund License money gone? Who is taking our money and spending it on other things we do not need. Are Governments corrupt or simply inept?
REACTIVE POLITICS - In future the men running ahead of cars will need to sprint faster, as technology accelerates away from dim-witted politicians being snake charmed by wealthy stakeholders, into ignoring the cures they are looking for in return for a nice fat brown envelope.
DUTY OF CARE Vs CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
If you know something is harmful or dangerous and do nothing about it, that is abandonment of a duty of care.
If you knowingly obstruct the making of new laws, striking of old laws, seeking to prolong the use of technology that is known to be harmful to human health, then that is no longer a breach of duty of care, it is criminal negligence.
