If you aren't in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?

My cars are old. $20 each for tags. In two more years my 2000 model truck won't need tested

Running older cars gives you a lower carbon footprint than buying new.

Each new car involves the equivalent of 50,000 miles worth of CO2 in production.
And that includes electric cars.

So, you are doing your bit for the environment, whether you wanted to or not.....

Meanwhile, your country, like my country, needs a lot more decarbonised electricity.
Ultimately that will mean quite a lot of new nuclear power stations.

The good news is, in a couple of years, my 2000 model Ford Ranger will be exempt from emissions testing
