Merz has previously said he would do all he could to ensure the 2035 deadline was softened. He has now argued it is vital that hybrid cars are allowed to still be made after 2035.

    As a German I really really really hope other EU countries don‘t give in. This is stupid. Our current government is stupid. Don‘t listen to Germany. We don‘t know what we‘re doing right now.

        The nuclear power withdrawal has been completely overblown with the help of Russian propaganda against Germany in an attempt to split the EU. It‘s really renewables that have their triumphal march right now. It‘s the cheapest way of generating energy there is (while nuclear is still the most expensive). They can‘t be stopped even though our ignorant government of millionaires tries. The same politicians who keep ‚alarming‘ us about how we haven‘t fully figured out storage yet keep throwing money at air taxis. Tells you everything you need to know about them.

        It’s okay if the car situation in Germany becomes bad. Since Germans can rely on their excellent trains. 😉
