Why is EU trying to ban hybrid cars? It seems like a perfectly reasonable bridging solution for the next few decades (just like nuclear power which they call “renewable” lol)

It’s worth clarifying that
- this a ban on sale of new hybrid cars
- this ban only comes into force in 2035

Given the investment timelines and economic lifespan of production plants, we need that strong commitment to signal to companies that they need to start changing their investment plans today. If the ban doesn’t exist, there wouldn’t be enough incentive to start investing in scaling up EV production today, so that EVs become affordable in 10 years time. Investing in EV production takes time, investors require certainty that there will be a market for the product down the line, and scaling up investment today will bring down production costs and benefit all of us.

Your source is trying to get you angry at the fact that EU is moving away from gas cars to electric, and this might affect the sales of hybrids.

Your source is trying to use your outrage to get you to support fossil fuels and to get your angry at electric

Why do you say nuclear power is not renewable? I agree nuclear is by far the best option

Better to call it sustainable

Nuclear energy should be the future, bub. It probably won't be though because governments don't actually want to solve problems
