Europe has “maybe 6 weeks or so (of) jet fuel left,” the head of the International Energy Agency said Thursday in a wide-ranging Associated Press interview, warning of possible flight cancellations “soon” if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war.
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol painted a sobering picture of the global repercussions of what he called “the largest energy crisis we have ever faced,” stemming from the pinch-off of oil, gas and other vital supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
“In the past there was a group called ‘Dire Straits.’ It’s a dire strait now, and it is going to have major implications for the global economy. And the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the economic growth and inflation around the world,” he said.
Yes and im saying dieselgate is irrelevant because it only involved VW cars which again only makes up for a small percentage of cars in france. VW cars alone wouldnt have been enough to create such a big change by themselves.
Thats around 2.6% of the estimated 38 million cars in france, so not a really important factor when the NOx reduction is something like 70% since 2007.
See my original comment for the math. The effect is staggering.
You havent provided any sources and your claims are nonsense.
This math is just nonsense. As you see from the emission standards, the NOx emisions are only slightly higher for diesel cars. Also the 40x number is about US regulations not european ones. Just find some actual sources for this maybe then come back and reply.
