Discuss anything to do with combustion technology (electricity, heating, CO2 emissions from cars and trucks, other tailpipe emissions) and you can be sure that Germany's NEIN will enter the room as this decade's version of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition.

@burger_jaap It isn't Germany's NEIN. It's Germany's conservatives' (and so called liberal tech-bros') NEIN. Please keep that in mind. Diesel is their guns.
@burger_jaap @cweickhmann Unfortunately you are right. As a German I can only say: It really is a shame!
@burger_jaap
Yes, but imho it is important to understand that this is the result of one party going rogue and the rest of the government coalition being too weak to respond.
Because this is saying something about the dysfunction on the Council of the EU.
@cweickhmann I understand your point, but ultimately this is the position of Germany, the EU Member State.
