Wikipedia tells me
"It is estimated that transportation fuels cause 54% of the anthropogenic (i.e. human-caused) NOx"
which I take to mean that if you include natural sources, transportation fuels cause less than 50% of all NOx

And since that % includes air fuel and trains and generators etc. If you remover all ROAD transport you'd still be left with the bulk of NOx

The same page claims bio-diesel/petrol does not increase NOx proportionately more

Their performance could be likened to going over a cliff.

However fast your diesel car might depreciate it's got nothing on an electric car

and lightening. Atmospheric nitrogen fixation probably contributes some 5– 8% of the total nitrogen fixed, fixed Nitrogen NOx. Wait for the next scare, NOx produces acid rain.

I'm not positive that is true; cos even if you remove cars/lorries you'd still have NOx from agriculture...

... and wood burning stoves/fires/central-heating...

but earlier this year, industry experts thought Kalina was going to prove how successful geothermal was going to be:

\\geothermal plant has since turned into “a bottomless pit” //
Heating the neighbourhood seems to work (at what cost ?)
but getting electricity from low grade heat hasn't work

A battery charger powered by Green Blob waste would be great. Not producing Green Blob waste in the first place, would be more efficient.
