A drone that hits a storage tank containing billions of litres of flammable fuel is the best way to get a bang for the buck - especially because there are probably billions of litres more in other nearby tanks. Sound strategy.

For the same reason that cars with engine sizes above 2-litres are rare, and always have been rare - petrol is more expensive. Automatics used more fuel, so they were only standard on high-end jaguars, mercedes, etc. Simple as that.

we need car parks with height barriers that exclude the suv's. people in range rover sports SUVs worth 80k aren't worried by an extra tenner on the parking fee. now imagine their 'car' won't fit......

It'd be called 'obstructing traffic'. Police sometimes grab boy-racers along the sea-front near my home for it. There's no specific law saying you can't wait at a T-junction indefinitely, and i usually get stuck behind the ones that do. :-(

if the 500 million was spent putting up wind turbines and solar panels you'd save more gkaciers melting overall and make a profit.

Yes, it's nonsense. In 2050 if they aren't carbon neutral, they haven't broken any laws so there'll be no punishment. So why not announce lofty goals?
