Greenpeace challenges fuel blockaders and argues the case for maintaining current levels of fuel tax
Sunday
Before the convoy departed at around noon some of the Greenpeace team took their two natural gas powered vehicles to one of only 20 gas refueling points in Britain in near by Walsall.
Meanwhile more truckers came to investigate the Greenpaece lorry and solar generator built into its trailer.
Several truckers signed up to Greenpeace's call for a green fuel fund to be set up using some of the fuel tax, in order to promote and develop fuels like bio-diesel, hydrogen and green electricity.
The level of tax on oil fuels was more controversial and there were some lively debates between the drivers and the Greennpeace volunteers about the dangerous affects of lowering this tax would have on fuel use.
The small band of protestors left Channock, by 11.30 am and traveled the 30 miles to Rugby truck stop . By the end of Sunday most of the members of the peoples' fuel lobby had come into the Greenpeace truck to talk about the need for clean fuel.
