....He vowed to end all use of fossil fuels by 2040.what becomes of:
Airbus
Air France
Agricultural equipment
Petrochemical Industry
French military aviation and weapons system sales...solar powered tanks?
All downstream industries related to IC engines
etc.
Hulot must surely be a graduate of the prestigious École Polytechnique, their bureaucrat factory.

.it will be very tough for the people who have these rules imposed upon them...not for those of us who make the rules. Yes, there will of course be exemptions for those animals that are "more equal" than the others.

But those left alive in 2041 can still remember them by eating French fries, French bread, and French toastThose are all halal.
Those left alive will be so busy praying five times a day at Hagia Maria and listening for the "most beautiful sound on earth" to tell them when to remember anything.

Go ahead...but what about marine engines? I want to go water skiing with a 400 horsepower outboard not an solar powered motor...

By 2040, Continental Europe will be semi-arid and the camel will be the prevalent mode of transportation. Its dried dung will fuel dwelling furnaces and campfires. Solar cells will power the amplifiers used to call all its citizens to worship five times per day.

Camels for muslims only. Infidels restricted to donkeys.

Hulot also said he would end all new exploitation of oil and gas reserves in France, for which a law will be put through parliament in the autumn. He vowed to end all use of fossil fuels by 2040." Great news for Boeing, Airbus not so much.

I was wondering where all of those non-fossil-fuel airplanes and ships were going to come from, myself.

Sure can’t wait for those solar-powered spacecrafts that will accelerate us to escape velocity . . . (how?)
