L’Europa ha bisogno di limiti ai combustibili fossili, non di sussidi per il carburante

I hope that thanks to that crisis; most Europeans will realize that transition toward EVs is not just some random dogmatic bullshit of Europeans Greens but a longstanding policy view to reduce our dependencies toward external factors……

Next step -> reconsidering the dominance of cars in our everyday lives in a world without oil

Edit : and the best EV is an electric bike in the end 🙂

Exactly 

>In Europe, that means poorer households start cutting back first.

Sometimes I wonder how many people writing Articles understand: There is nothing to be cut.

In regions where the Car is sadly still a necessity, things don’t get much cheaper than small, used ICE. The smaller the better. Everything below cuts into mobility, as public transport is simply not enough.

There is a big butcher’s plant some five km away from me. They have a fairly large staff. Barely any of which come from my neck of the woods. Because the Bus drives three kilometres in the wrong direction, allowing a switch to a different bus. Which then connects to the small town with the plant.

Altogether takes more time and is fairly expensive in ticket prices.
But please, poor people can surely cut more. As always, on every single goddamn issue. Frankly, fuck off already.

yeah, for anybody voting for full EV transition – let me remind you:

Driving EV now is cheap ONLY because ICE drivers are paying for the roads in stead of you. Once ICE is removed – every single EU country will be forced to apply fuel duty tax equivalent to that of diesel and petrol.

Currently its pretty much 50% of your total price. So if we all transition to EV – your average 100km price will double..

Furthermore – no tractor in the market cutrently can compete in terms of effectiveness with your average Massey Ferguson diesel powered 7170 … Farmers burn literally thousands of tones of diesel during the farming season. You would spend more time changing batteries than actually doing work with your average EC Tractor this way.

Where is the green transition? The Green deal was a sham by Ursula.

Reducing fossil fuel use doesn’t just change energy sources, it will reshape the entire structure of modern, high-tech economies. Energy will become more constrained, and that typically means lower overall consumption and reduced living standards. Read: the poor will get poorer while the rich stay rich.

Cheap, abundant oil has long acted as a leveling force, helping to narrow the gap between rich and poor by enabling mass production, global trade, and widespread access to goods and services. As this era ends, the opposite dynamic will emerge: higher costs, tighter resources, and a widening divide between those who can absorb these changes and those who cannot.

Make no mistake, this will happen regardless of the outcome of the so-called “green” energy transition, as it is not a cheap, energy-dense product like oil. It’s an uncomfortable truth, and make no mistake, the green energy transition may even worsen the situation, as it risks acting as “hopium” for the masses.

I dread the day when people realize they were misled into believing it would save them. But then again, the masses often believe what they are told, and by the time reality sets in, those in power will likely have found something else to keep them occupied.

Wrong headline. “Europe will have to do with always less fossil fuels” is much more correct.

Trying to spin it with “it’s our choice and if we want we could important an ever growing amount of fossil fuels but we need do it for ethics or mroale” is being delusional.

>Where Russian gas and oil could be replaced relatively quickly, the current supply shock is more than ten times as big.
Compared to roughly one million barrels of oil lost to the market in 2022, today’s shortfall amounts to around 11 million barrels.
This is literally irreplaceable.

It’s unfathomable that middle east has been destabilizing for thirty years, and we still don’t prioritize solar and nuclear above all else.

0% Fossil in Crude Oil.

There is so much oil in this planet that it’s bubbling up in deserts in Sahara and Saudi Arabia.
