Fight the Power.
I bet the addition of pollution from these older cars is minimal.
It is all about power and control.
And I always thought that GERMANS CARED about the environment.
...I guess until it cost them some money.
Nice to see even Germany recognizes the yoke that the globalists are trying to throw on them.
Still small, but it may grow into something bigger...
The EU woke, elite is so stupid.
Unable to learn from the reaction in France, they are going to do the same moves in Germany and elsewhere, and earn an EU-wide Yellow-Jacket Spring.
And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch !
And that’s after about 20 years of European governments pushing diesel cars because of their better fuel mileage. The market share for diesel passenger cars was over 50% in Germany.
Now, the little dictators do an about face and want people to stop using their property. Petty fascism on display.
Aide: The people have no bread?
The German Queen: Then let them eat cake. I can not be responsible for under capitalized citizens.
How much would it cost to bring over one of these older diesels from Germany?
German built diesels are indestructible if maintained properly.
I have a ‘98 diesel Jetta 5 speed with almost 300 thousand miles on it and still gets me to where I need to with no problem. Was 20 below the other day, still cranked and started.
Using their own ideology concerning carbon footprints, how big is the carbon footprint to produce all the new replacement cars and process the scraped cars going to be?
Bet it’s much bigger than to just leave it alone. How can they not see that the gain is far less than the cost? Yeah... it’s not about the environment at all.
