If you could do something other than lie you would note that Uk EV market share is up over 3% YOY. And you have presented no evidence to show that EVs are piling up in 'America. EV Sales in September were up over 50% YOY. All you have are your pack of lies and no current data to support them. Nonsense, the results are as I have stated above, sales of fossil fuel vehicles in Britain have gained market share at the expense of EVs, and private sales of EVs have fallen in absolute numbers in the UK due to the removal of government buyer incentives. EVs continue to pile up on American sales lots while fossil fuel cars are maintaining their low inventories. I gave you the numbers above, Learn to read.

For petrol, diesel and bioethanols, the Government gets around 65 per cent of the overall cost through fuel duty and value added tax (VAT).

The UK's recent announcement of new oil and gas leasing in the North Sea contrasts with previous commitments to phase out fossil fuels. Critics and experts argue that the UK's current policy does not align with its net zero goals, with Stuart maintaining that the UK is not the primary concern in global climate efforts."

Although China imported 13.5% more crude in October than a year ago, the growth figure was exaggerated by coronavirus restrictions in place last year. Overall, the current fall in oil prices could signify growing concerns about the state of the global economy as well as a market being driven by fear rather than fundamentals."

The UK need a diverse energy mix so new oil and gas leases are a good thing IMO, it also makes our energy far more secure from political and economic issues like the Ukraine war.

Global oil consumption continued to be strong in September, with a record-high Chinese demand of 17.1 million barrels per day (bpd), the IEA said in its Oil Market Report today. Due to an all-time high Chinese monthly demand fueled by the petrochemical sector and resilient consumption in the United States, the agency revised up its 2023 oil demand growth forecast to 2.4 million bpd, up from 2.3 million bpd growth expected in the October report."
