Germany strikes a deal and votes to ban non carbon neutral fuel use

[BOHICA]

The way is cleared for the EU to ban cars from 2035 that run on petroleum that is not carbon neutral.

EV’s and vehicles that run on Efuels only from 2035 and beyond.

How is electricity carbon neutral? Secondly, EV start with a bigger carbon footprint than ICE...the guy that buys a new car every 3 years will never be better for the environment buying evs than ice.

Things have been going swimmingly for the Rads recently...

They can write all the laws that they want. Just like Germany went down the road of renewables only to discover that they won't work with Germany's geography. This stuff is all pipe dreams.

Lol so tell the class how Germany is currently making its electricity and why they are making thete electricity like they are ?

Will you take screen shots as a source?

if not here is a link.  This page has links to where this data comes from if you are interested.

The problem with renewable energy remains cost.  We are trying to get developing nations to leapfrog to renewables when its not sustainable.   The renewables are more expensive to put in then on top of that you have to have non-renewable backups in many cases.

Look at the geopolitical alignment going on right now and who is on which side?

But no amount of marketing could change the poor physics of resource-intensive and land-intensive renewables. Solar farms take 450 times more land than nuclear plants, and wind farms take 700 times more land than natural gas wells, to produce the same amount of energy.

Efforts to export the Energiewende to developing nations may prove even more devastating.

The new wind farm in Kenya, inspired and financed by Germany and other well-meaning Western nations, is located on a major flight path of migratory birds. Scientists say it will kill hundreds of endangered eagles.

“It’s one of the three worst sites for a wind farm that I’ve seen in Africa in terms of its potential to kill threatened birds,” a biologist explained.

In response, the wind farm’s developers have done what Europeans have long done in Africa, which is to hire the organizations, which ostensibly represent the doomed eagles and communities, to collaborate rather than fight the project.

Kenya won't be able to “leapfrog” fossil fuels with its wind farm. On the contrary, all of that unreliable wind energy is likely to increase the price of electricity and make Kenya’s slow climb out of poverty even slower.
