European Parliament has formally approved a law that will effectively end the sale of gas- and diesel-powered vehicles in the European Union by 2035, calling for a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions for any new cars sold, according to Reuters.
The 27-nation union agreed to the changes in October 2022, but has now formalized the deal, which enforces a 55% reduction in emissions for vehicles by 2030. Levels for CO2 for 2021 were set at a target of 37.5%.
Vans will get a slight advantage in the market, requiring a a 50% cut by 2030, compared with 2021 levels.
Just a few months before the announcement in May 2022, car makers such as Ford and Volvo even signed a joint letter with 26 other companies asking the European Union to implement such a plan.
The target of 2035 has been justified by the EU based on what officials say is an average vehicle lifespan of 15 years, which would allow the EU to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

> European Union approves effective ban on sales of gas cars by 2035 <
What a coincidence. I just approved a ban on the EU by 2035.
I want to live long enough to see these mfers hang.
Recently Germany plowed under a windmill farm because, underneath the soil is a great deal of......COAL! That’s right. They stopped so many of their electricity plants powered by nuclear, they had to return to good ‘ol coal. Liberalism really is a mental disease.
Germany demolished a wind farm to get at the coal underneath. We need to ship arms to Europeans. Just flood the whole EU with handguns.
Buy 2035 people will find out what a scam electric vehicles are.
Ha! Beat me by a few seconds.
Tyrant class needs to be made to feel afraid, VERY AFRAID!
Same people who are forcing Germans to burn wood to keep warm.
The climate will continue to do what it’s going to do no matter what puny humans
do.
“In 2019 China is estimated to have emitted 27% of world GHG, followed by the United States with 11%, then India with 6.6%.”
“In 2020, 27% of the GHG emissions of the United States were from transportation, 25% from electricity, 24% from industry, 13% from commercial and residential buildings and 11% from agriculture.”

Comrades, 27% of 11% is 2.97%. US cars, planes and trains emit 2.97% of global CO2 emmissions.
No electricity...
Soros and others are now paying to dim the Sunlight hitting
Earth.
Why leave to the government such small matters?
They are smart people and have concluded they will open five new 1,000 MW nuclear units every month from now until 2035. Problem solved.
Ha, ha, ha!
Shoes, comrade, shoes will be #1.
Bare feet will be #2.
Knock yourselves out Eurotrash.
Me too
