EU Fossil Fuel Car Ban Gets Final Green Light
Channel News Asia ^ | 28 Mar 2023

The 27 European Union member states gave final approval on Tuesday (Mar 28) to a ban on sales of new fossil fuel cars by 2035, after Germany dropped a last-minute blocking effort.

The vote was a formality after ambassadors on Monday backed the milestone agreement.

The majority of the bloc's energy ministers rubber-stamped the ban on Tuesday during a meeting in Brussels, with only Poland against. Bulgaria, Italy and Romania abstained.

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law

It seems Rush was being prophetic.

By 2035 the average age of EU residents will be 75 so most won’t mind getting around by electric golf carts.

2035? The Swedish Meatball says we don’t have that much time left. WHY NOT RIGHT NOW!? Most of you enviroretards will be dead in 2035 from opioid and fentanyl overdoses.

One of the first woke sayings was for any weird restriction “They’re doing it that way in Europe” and then “It’s on the books as law already in California.”

Now how about “Go perform a reproductive act on yourself.”

That's the primary objective. The invention of the global-climate scam came from a bunch of neo-Malthusians who think that only an 90% reduction in ther human population will save the Earth. Look up Maurice Strong. No, don't bother. His internet profile is all false. Instead, read this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Deliberate-Corruption-Climate-Science/dp/0988877740

The late climate scientist Dr. Tim Ball saw it all happening right from the start, and wrote it all down for us.

Sounds like the EU got what was needed, which was an EXEMPTION for people wealthy enough to buy carbon-neutral fuel at $25/gallon (not a problem for the rich). Also, no doubt, EU employees will be ‘assigned’ fossil fuel cars too.

The rest of the masses will have to live with plugging in their cars every night.

Cutting off their nose to spite their face. What fools. And they’ll wonder why they are poor and destitute in the near future.

And the battery packs for those carts will cost well over $100,000 unless normal supply and demand hasn’t got the costs already there by that time. Then we’re talking at least one Hunter Biden panting.

How are EU people going to transport food without transportation when the famine hits. Food shortages are already appearing in Europe according to reports from the UK.

The Netzero people are pushing 2 Billion more humans into Starvation.

When/if the Media suddenly wakes up to Global Famine and asks why? Tell them it was the war on Fertilizer and Farms.

start buying up gasoline cars as an investment since new ones won’t be allowed to sell.
