“they’re the same picture”
Well, start fighting fossil fuels as well then. Undermining the geopolitical power fossil fuel resources give to various authoritarian states would be an enormous benefit in itself.
If only we fought corruption and jailed some of these people.
I am so looking forward to seeing all these green hydrogen replacing all of our gas in 5 years :).
Right in time before the prices for heating, transportation and anything in general increase after introducing the ETS II.
Definitely a winning strategy.
Well, that’s dumb
Where does she think the emissions come from?
But we should be because we are a massive net-importer of them and lose a lot of money because of it.
How much more corrupt and on the wrong side of history can you be? Genuinely asking
She seems to be getting dumber, perhaps time to move on.
what
FFS, she’s a spanner.
Anyway TIL, and it made me a bit happier:
>In addition to its role in approving a new Commission, the European Parliament has the power at any time to force the entire Commission to resign through a vote of no confidence. This requires a vote that makes up at least two-thirds of those voting and a majority of the total membership of the Parliament. While it has never used this power, it threatened to use it against the Commission headed by Jacques Santer in 1999 over allegations of corruption. In response, the Santer Commission resigned en masse of its own accord, the only time a Commission has done so.

There is some truth to this, but it is more relevant in the future. If we start creating our own fossil fuels by scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere and making the fuels from that, the loop is closed. No carbon is added so this is a solution to for example air traffic, where alternative fuels are going to be very tough to figure out if the current and future industry demands need to be met. But for that to work you need large scale renewables producing hydrogen and scrubbing carbon with excess energy to make the fuels. And this won’t work in the heating or electricity sectors, where renewables work fine and just need to be scaled up
Ladies and gentlemen, another bright and brilliant insight from Europe’s, brightest…
Good. There will be maybe some new technology that allow for more clean use of fossil fuels.
Theycahould make grants for research. Lets say its more efficient to burn one type of carbon than other…. maybe time to find whats most efficient and clean.
Well… What do we do with it, if not eventually emit?
And I don’t fight sugar, only diabetes
Please. Vdl. Why do we put up with her. Oh yeah. Germany.
Where is my Cromwell quote…ah yes…”You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of the God, Go!”
cows, she’s coming for you next!!!!
We shouldn’t fight emissions, only what’s already in the air.
How about fighting for Ukraine?
Imagine if she’d said “EU is not fighting carcinogens, only cancer”.
Sure, cancer bad. But if you wanna fight it, totally removing or limiting carcinogens is an amazing place to start.
Does she have bad conscience for fighting fossil fuels ? It’s time for fossil fuels to leave. China, South America, India, Africa have renewable energies exploding at a crazy level. Oil industry should just focus on making plastics, that’s all. Or the West will once again miss the train, and it will be the last one.
Here comes the 180 on the 2030 climate targets that Germany has been asking for months now… Germany wins again, couldn’t be arsed to plan ahead (with over 15 years of head start) so now the rest of the EU has to bendover and off we fuck (ourselves).
Fight agricultural pollution poisoning of land and people first, you damn crooked.
But yeah, it could pissed his big pharma and chemical friends.
no EU leader has ever been quite as full of shit as old uschi
Buy as much petrol as you want, just keep it away from oxygen!
Then what about electric cars? I hiiighly guess they is a exception. No they are not emissions free.
And why? When it’s not gnna make a difference at a global scale? Emissions alone isn’t enough to save our planet if we keep on piling more trash, keep felling trees (looking at you COP30!), etc.
The big offenders don’t change so this emissions story is nothing but a kiss on a giant gaping wound.
Want to fix climate change? You are gnna need all of humanity to step up, you will need to force companies to stop being so greedy and produce long lasting, easy to repair products, you gotta protect nature instead of chop it down, and u need affordable green alternatives to mainstream products of today.
Sorry but electric cars ain’t there yet. Not in tech nor in affordability. And it’s even worse with motorcycles. All this does is bully the European people into buying expensive stuff that will be outdated in a few years, while industries/big companies (aka the real offenders within the EU, far more than households!) still won’t be using this green tech as it’s not capable enough yet.
Way to go EU politicians for once again showing the utter lack of critical and logical thinking skills.
Boooo!
We should be fighting fossil fuels with tooth and nail!
If they are *fossil* they produce unwanted emissions by definition, because you pull them from the ground and then dump their combustion products in the air. Maybe in the future we can have fully synthetic and neutral non-fossil liquid fuels, but for now, this is bunk unless lady got her hands on some Star Trek technology.
