Well, I have an electric vehicle, and it has not broken down in four years.

Bath is as close to Northern Ireland as we can make it. The latest Northern Ireland Life and Times survey indicates fewer people in Northern Ireland believe that human activity is the primary cause of climate change compared with those recorded in the UK and Europe.
