The German auto industry is protesting a decision by EU parliament to ban the sale of cars that run on petrol and diesel by 2035, describing it as detrimental to the market and consumers.

What exactly do they plan on using moving forward? Unicorn farts?

Im gonna assume that used cars will also be phased out, i remember Europe has INCREDIBLY retarded laws when it comes to businesses and how new their cars need to be, how many miles, etc

Apparently, they -- leaders of Europe -- plan on wrecking the European economy.

International shipping on freighters emits more CO2 than cars. But you don't see them clamping down on shipping everything all over the world due to globalization.

A ban on gasoline driven cars is retarded. You cannot legislate the transition from gasoline to electric cars. It can't be forced. It is dictated by real-world conditions. When these conditions change, and when they demand electric cars, then we will move to electric cars, gradually and smoothly, without traumatic upset to the general economy. But we can't be forced onto electric cars when we don't have sufficient electrical generating capacity, we don't have enough charging stations, enough raw materials for car batteries, and most important of all, when electric cars DON'T WORK under winter conditions in colder regions. Yes, you heard me -- they don't fucking work when it gets really cold for months on end. If they can be made to move at all, their range drops to almost nothing.

All of these things are known, that is why this delusion is posted in s/insanity.
