A plutocratist party in the German government demanded a change in the nearly-agreed EU directive to ban sale of new cars made to usefossil fuels after 2035.

Supposedly this is to encourage the future sale of new cars intendedto run on hypothetical future "synthetic fuels" made from CO2extracted from the air. However, the proposed directive was alreadywritten to permit that the continued sale of such those cars after2035, provided they could not run on fossil fuels. It is clear thatthe plutocratist demand aims to create an excuse in 2035 to continueselling new cars that can run on fossil fuels. The excuse will beto claim that these new cars are intended to run on synthetic fuels.

Why is that important to them? Based on the planet roasters' recordof repeated dishonesty, I speculate their plan is to claim that carsare "intended" to run on the synthetic fuels, knowing that owners willactually buy the fossil fuels instead, and that this will createincreased demand for fossil fuels, such that it is impossible todiscontinue them as planned.

It looks like the planet roasters won: the EU made the demanded seemingly-small change in the directive.
