The Germans treat ecological stewardship like a religion. It’s a moral law. They look at us like the imams look at us, with a superior moral eye.
This non truth will catch up to them
Yeah. And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
What I notice about the liberal mind is that it is never limited by reality. The basic laws of physics and chemistry are not relevant to their dream world utopia of how they wish things to be. With this in their subconscious, they create these loop holes to elicit an holier than thou feeling within themselves.
BMW has a large, in-house electric car development group that has already developed the i3 and i8 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and is well-along in developing full-electric drivetrains.
Mercedes-Benz is one of the larger investors in Tesla Motors, so Mercedes-Benz has access to Tesla's electric-car technology.
The Volkswagen group (Audi/Porsche/VW) has its own large in-house electric car development group.
As such, by 2020, it's possible the German automakers will be among the largest manufacturers of electric cars on Earth. This why they can push this proposal.
What angers me is that THE GERMANS AGREED TO IT, the stricter limits. Not just the government, but the country as a whole agreed to dive head-first into saving the world.
...and now it’s too much for them. Same with electrical power - now they’re back to building coal plants and have told their leftists to shove it.
England is looking at power outages during the winter that will drive people out of their homes, or kill them in their homes. Why? Because they AGREED TO cut ‘greenhouse’ gases by 80%. That is a VERY BIG cut, a cut big enough to send them back to a pre-industrial stage, possibly even less carbon emitted, per capita, than the cavemen.
I screamed this at the time, but what do I know, I’m just a half-ass blogger in Texas. The REAL EXPERTS are the people that work for and advise governments - yep, those are the real experts.
