Don’t ya love it when a gay Paris climate accord comes to.............. Oh.
Wow, that’s about $7 billion in unsold inventory at an average cost of $30,000.
The German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) has estimated that fuel consumption and CO2 figures will increase by 22 percent on average meaning first and foremost a welcome windfall for treasuries all over Europe.Sure enough, follow the money. Screw the citizen.

At first, reducing car pollution is fairly straightforward, and there is a lot of reduction for the cost. But the cost of reducing emissions grows as the efficiency of current pollution control measures increases. There eventually comes a point when the cost of further reductions in pollutants becomes prohibitive. I suspect that with car emissions, we have reached that point, so that it costs more and more money to achieve ever smaller decreases in pollutants.
One would think that the magnitude of the cost would outweigh any fractional gain at this point—but then, these are politicians making the decisions.
This, plus France’s $7.00 gasoline is their big chance to SAVE THE WORLD !!!
Have at it Europe - this is it !!!
Show everyone you care !!!
(and they laugh at Trump for not being a ‘world-player’, guess they’re not laughing so much now)
