Few 'green' cars yet

Less than 2,000 cars out of 2 million vehicles in Scotland have been converted to low carbon fuels in the past three years, while three-quarters of a million are emitting high levels of pollution, according to a statement from the SNP.

Ideally all vehicles in Britain might be converted to hydrogen, however according to a study published by Warwick University in October 2004, this would require the building of either 100,000 new wind turbines or 100 new nuclear power plants.
