New Law Bans Cars That Are NOT Electric By Jeff Siegel

Written Tuesday, October 11, 2016

It’s enough to make a libertarian squirm.

Actually, it’s enough to make any free-market advocate scream at the top of his lungs.

But none of that matters to Germany’s Bundesrat, which just passed a resolution to ban the sale of internal combustion vehicles.

Yes, you read that correctly: a complete ban on the sale of internal combustion vehicles.

The ban wouldn’t go into effect until 2030, but folks, that’s not that far off.

And as analyst Bertel Schmitt from Forbes pointed out, this goes far beyond Germany...

Say what you want about “unity” amongst EU nations, but everybody knows that without Germany, the EU is sunk. Germany has the economic muscle to influence everything that happens in the EU, and everyone knows it.

So when Germany says it’s banning the sale of internal combustion vehicles, rest assured, the EU is banning the sale of internal combustion vehicles.
