Try as they might, the Eco Loons, sooner or later, come up against reality.

"Net zero ban on petrol cars in chaos after Brussels climbdown. Proposals to ditch internal combustion engines face crisis following 'e-fuels' exemption in EU. A looming British ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars was thrown into chaos on Tuesday after Brussels watered down its own restrictions amid opposition from the German auto industry. Experts and politicians warned that British rules due to take effect in 2030 are untenable following the European climbdown, which will allow internal combustion engines as long as they burn carbon-neutral petrol alternatives."

And reality always wins.
