"EU carmakers to comply with 90% emissions reduction by 2035 as full combustion engine ban scrapped"
#EU #EuropeanUnion #Cars

EU-made combustion cars to comply with 90% emissions reduction by 2035
The remaining 10% of emissions will need to be compensated for by using low-carbon steel 'Made in the EU' or sustainable fuels. The EU executive revoked the 2035 ban on the sale of new cars and vans powered by diesel or petrol after pressure from some EU countries and the automotive industry.

It wasn’t a myth. It was a deliberate disinformation campaign by Fossil Fuel companies.
Just like the “evs are bad cuz mining is bad” is disinformation propaganda. The advantages over burning the planet with CO2 emissions are factually inescapable.
Tell me I’m Wrong.

Here's a radical transport idea...
For every two lane road, turn one lane into a segregated two lane cycle route, and make the other one a contraflow motor vehicle lane.
Watch many car drivers switch to cycling, and RTAs drop. Short distance travel times will be reduced for many.
And I say all this as both a car driver and a cycle rider.

Tire rubber decays into a potentially dangerous chemical cocktail, research shows
The small, spongy black beads used as fill material in most artificial turf fields are called crumb rubber, which has long been touted as a major win for recycling. However, conflicting studies have alternately identified crumb rubber as either safe for people to play atop or dangerous to human health.

Study finds EVs quickly overcome their energy-intensive build to be cleaner than gas cars
Making electric vehicles and their batteries is a dirty process that uses a lot of energy. But a new study says that EVs quickly make up for that with less overall emissions through two years of use than a gas-powered vehicle.

Got to sit in an play with a 2026 Leaf yesterday. felt good. Gonna test drive next week.
I should probably wait a year to get a used one and save money but I think the blue color will be hard to come by.

Tire Recycling Innovations Turn Waste Into Effective Highway Noise Solutions | Happy Eco News
Tire recycling innovations by Czech company mmcité+ transform waste into highway noise barriers. The 'Noba' project reduces traffic noise by 10 decibels, lasts longer than concrete alternatives, costs less over time, and involves communities in design while keeping millions of tires from polluting landfills and waterways.

No Doug. It's the 21st century.

First attempt to super charge with Nissan leaf starting at 64%. 32 degrees out. Forgot to turn battery heater on and only charged at 22kw. Ouch. Turned heater on and after 30 minutes seemed to peak at 28kw.
The leaf is supposed to be able to hit 150kw. But no luck this time.
