The Royal Commission on Pollution: How it could affect you
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.By the year 2005, the report envisages that: It will cost about pounds 60 to fill the tank of a medium-sized car.
The proportion of journeys by public transport will have risen from 12 per cent to 30.
Company cars will be out - tramways, urban cycleways and buses powered by natural gas will be in.
The air will be sweeter, with pollution never breaching WHO guidelines.
The motorway and trunk road network will be little changed from today's, due to big cuts in road building.
The car you drive, and the road beneath it, will have a much higher recycled content.
Air travel to nearby European cities will have been largely replaced by the train.
