It’s not going to happen.

They won’t backtrack on green issues.

Air quality is a big issue in large urban areas.

They won’t abandon lucrative revenue streams.

Its not going to happen.

 

Forget about it.

but the revenue wont be there as many i know are not replacing there cars as can't afford to plus so many other businesses will close if no ones buying likes of fuel/parts etc already have it round here with lockdown.

People will replace what they can anyway emissions are dropping all the time but we have a few other issues that increase it all the time one being the narrow boats along canal with wood burners etc and Fluffy Islington which has high nox has many houses using log burners and canals crammed with people living in boats if go along canal in evening chokes you with smog.

Well, for 1, I’d find it hard to believe anyone would seriously compare wood burning stoves in canal boats to vehicle and aircraft air pollution....

Simple it's called NOX why now they have banned green/wet wood types for wood burners

They haven’t banned it. 
 

If you want to be an accredited supplier, you have to comply. 
 

That’s a long way off ‘banning’ something.

Like what you buy off a forecourt at your local garage..... labelled up as “kiln dried” less than 20% moisture, blah blah blah. Yet said garage has left it sat outside in the rain for 3 days..... is it still classed as “kiln dried” errr yes, according to the label, but in reality it might as well be treated as green wood all over again!

Yeah but many are not burning that there using anything they can get there hands on thats the trouble.

We know what should but rules and reality don't match up! often see them with half/most of a tree on top chopping it up.

When it's your only source of heat etc like any other method it become dam expensive and many finding these days life on those isn't as cheap as thought it was!
