Power to the people

Perhaps the answer is to use a gas heater. It's almost 100% efficient and much better than idling an engine just to keep warm. Of course a better idea is for someone to do their job and ensure there are no 4 hour traffic jams. How about a moderately high speed rail service hauling auto carriers. Drive on at London and off at Birmingham or edinburgh. Comfortable safe trip. Use the electric car for around town and the train for long haul. A well run railway has to be cheaper than a jammed motorway. To handle the numbers it would be like a continuous train except the cars would only have a centimetre between them. Come to thinkl of it that's just like the motorway as well. It becomes a travellator for cars!
