Default Electric or Hybrid Card or something car, suggestions?

But of course Greenpeace sucessfully screwed that system up too
so we only have sellafield left.

I don't think Greenpeace (et al) area that influential. They say don't keep
selling cars - cars keep getting sold. They say stop flying by 'plane -
'planes still take off every day, etc., etc. As I recall the reason Nukes
were stopped was because they aren't economically viable. Remember we used
(maybe still do) pay a Nuclear levy to fund the stations? Even with that
the government has to keep whacking a load of free money at the Nuclear
energy industry to stop it going bankrupt. If it's pay extra for renewable
energy or for Nuclear I'd rather go for renewable.

Having said that the economics of the future are likely to be very
different, and then Nuclear stands a chance.
