Meanwhile, there are concerns about exhaust from burning natural
gas[4]; next step fuel cells?

Get the wires up, get the trams and trolleybuses rolling.

And get rid of black cabs in their current form. They are large,
polluting and utterly unnecessary for anyone other than those of
limited mobility - it's very rare indeed for them to be the quickest
way of making any journey in central London, so those who are not of
limited mobility are basically just being lazy[1] by using them. Stop
issuing licences and let the trade die naturally over the next 30
years, replacing it with some form of service for those of limited
mobility using electric vehicles.

[1] Corporate travel policies increasingly ban them, which is sensible
as they are a waste of money when a Travelcard or Oyster can be used
for the journey instead.
