I tried to share an article here yesterday but it was removed I believe.
Germany and Italy are pushing back on the plan to ban normal cars by 2035.
Thankfully European countries seem to be cottoning on to the absurdity of these Eurocrats and their plans.
More and more right wing parties are coming to the fore and it’s singularly to blame on these hair brained schemes.
Biofuel. Give me a break.
Edit: not sure how this is relevant to r/Ireland but two of the largest EU countries coming out against plans to stop the production of proper cars isn’t

Biofuel is interesting in concept but it can only be a small piece of the puzzle for replacing fossil fuels. There just isn’t enough land to grow food and fuel and preserve biodiversity at our current energy usage levels, let alone where global energy demand will be in 50 years at current trends.
