Quote of the Day

You might imagine that the news that someone has built one of the least polluting cars in the world at a record low price would be cause for celebration. Now millions of people can afford to swap their polluting behemoths for a sprightly, less damaging vehicle instead.

This would have no doubt been the reaction if the Tata Nano - which costs just 100,000 rupees (£1,260) and, according to its head designer, emits just 120 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre - has [sic] been unveiled in, say, London this week. But the fact that the news emanated from India seems to have left many reeling with horror.
