The so-called greens often ignore what is easily achievable, while they push for their pipe-dreams as if they were some sort of one-size-fits-all approach.

Their reasoning was that we should focus on electric cars instead, wich we should indeed do, but that doesn't mean all ICE cars instantly disappear from the road.

EVs might cater to the needs of some rich people who can afford to keep a fleet of specialized vehicles, while in a best-case scenario a plug-in hybrid is closer to cover most of the needs of a single-car household.

Cars have a lifespan and we're still building ICE cars, if we want to reduce CO2 emissions, using CO2 neutral fuels for them is a significant factor.

I support biofuels for strategic reasons, as they can be better integrated with many crops and livestock enabling a regional sourcing. This is also likely to decrease the carbon output of the logistics. And considering some residues at a negligible cost could serve as a feedstock, it's a more effective approach to keep the stability of the cycles of carbon and nitrogen at the atmosphere, as it would prevent organic matter to simply rot away releasing methane and some other compounds.

Although having mineral oil tax on non mineral oil fuels is a little obscure to begin with if you ask me.

Some politics are outstanding at creating a problem out of nowhere in order to sell a fake solution.
