The Guardian: "National road charging is inevitable, warns head of UK motoring group"


Link to The Guardian

"A national system of charging people to drive on the roads is inevitable as part of a package of measures to cut congestion and pollution, Professor Stephen Glaister, head of the RAC Foundation, the UK's leading motoring lobby group, warned on Tuesday.

"Other areas [the Foundation] advocates are:
  • more electrified railway lines
  • a network of electric vehicle charging points 
  • more energy recovery from sewage sludge 
  • expansion of composting 
  • anaerobic digestion for food waste, and 
  • incineration, and longer term gasification or pyrolosis technology, to turn waste into transport fuel for lorries, which are harder to electrify.
