HVO100 diesel fuel.

So your argument is forget about the environmental effects of battery production because petrol and diesel is bad ! lol.

So in other words, I love electric cars and everyone should drive one because I drive one and want to see everyone drive and EV too even though they're just as bad for the environment ! MAO.

We all know that but the E.U again, interfering in areas where these politicians know little about just for the sake of been seen to be green and this is where electric cars will end up another mistake unless they can come up with a viable way to make liquid fuels because there simply is nothing to make the majority of people want to buy an EV, especially those with no place to charge their EV at home and those not willing to buy new cars are not going to buy new EV or 2nd hand ev with degraded batteries of facing potential huge bills if something goes wrong out of warranty. Cars in general have gone way too expensive and manufacturers are deliberately producing bigger more expensive cars filled with expensive tech abandoning the small cheap car market. I won't be buying a new car for a very long time to come again if ever.

Poland, Germany and France have already secured indefinite extension to the ICE ban but there are certain people in Government here who are hell bent on seeing everyone abandon their cars and move to public transport and leave the country to move to the big towns and cities.

They have destroyed Rural Ireland by getting rid of the post offices in the rural areas, as a result their little shops closed because people had to go into the bigger town wasting fuel to get to a post office and shopped there instead.

Thousands of pubs are gone forever half of them falling in disrepair now partly because of the price of Alcohol from all the tax. A lot of rural areas who once had thriving pubs now have nowhere to socialise.

All this is probably to make living in the country far less attractive so people won't want to live there.

Anyway, at the end of the day if HVO can be made why not use it if it means it's a lot cleaner ?

Synthetic blends will be added to fuel in the future, more and more % will be added as time goes on.

There are hundreds of millions of people who drive on holidays and go to different countries by car and none of them are going to do this kind of driving in an EV, those who do are very dedicated but the majority won't do this.

Inevitably the car manufacturers can only make cars that people want to buy of they go bust, if they only make EV and EV does not meet the needs of people then they simply can't survive and will have to close forever but maybe this is the objective to finally rid the world of cars ? personal transport ?

By the time 2035 comes it will be watered down again, this was all implemented by green agendas in the first place and was never going to stick, at this point in time there is no viable alternative to liquid fuels that gives people what they want and need.

By the way, the CNN article was just the first one I could find.

If the ban was to go ahead then the European Auto industry would be ruined but there are a lot of people who think this would be a very good idea too.

Yes obviously because it's made entirely from recycled oil and food products. In other words, there is a big reduction in Nox and it burns much cleaner in the engine and if you care about Co2 it massively reduces Co2 emissions as it emits captured Co2 from growing the seed that produces the Oil that is re-used.

So it's really using oil and food twice. There should also be a significant reduction in excise and Co2 tax on this fuel but the Government see only battery EV as the only planet saving tech out there ignoring battery production lol. BEV the future diesel gate.

You say this as if people who thing more right wing are bad !

My text was supposed to include a quite from Red Sulirian which I gathered that he thinks right wing people are bad or trump supporters are bad or perhaps I read him wrong.

Oil is still cheap and in most parts of the world, the Irish Government have used car owners as cashcows milking us for decades and one reason I will never again buy any new cars due to all the tax.

Petrol and diesel would probably be under 1 Euro per litre only for all the tax. heating oil and gas same thing. We're being screwed and it's not like adding carbon tax is going to have any impact on global emissions, all this green agenda is just gasslighting people into accepting higher and higher taxes.
