BERLIN/BRUSSELS, March 21 (Reuters) - The European Commission has drafted a plan to allow sales of new cars with internal combustion engines after 2035 if they run only on climate neutral e-fuels, as it tries to resolve a spat with Germany over moves to phase out combustion engine cars. The draft proposal, seen by Reuters on Tuesday, suggests creating a new type of vehicle category in the European Union for cars that can only run on carbon neutral fuels. Such vehicles would have to use technology that would prevent them from driving if other fuels are used, the draft said. article-prompt-devices Register for free to Reuters and know the full story The proposal could offer a route for carmakers to keep selling combustion engine vehicles after 2035, the date when a planned EU law is set to ban the sale of new CO2-emitting cars. After months of negotiations, EU countries and the European Parliament agreed the law last year. But Germany's Transport Ministry surprised other countries this month by lodging last-minute objections to the law, days before a final vote that would have seen it enter into force. The Ministry's core demand is that the EU allow sales of new cars running on e-fuels after 2035. On Tuesday, it said it was in contact with the Commission to try to reach a solution on an issue being closely watched by Germany's powerful car industry. "We are interested in a quick clarification, but it must be resilient and binding. We are currently examining this carefully," a spokesperson said. ... Continue reading >>>

Fauci Gain Of Function confession
Fauci: We ‘Need’ to Do Things ‘That Make a Pathogen More Transmissible or More Pathogenic,’ and ‘Some’ Call that Gain of Function
by Ian Hanchett, Breitbart, 22 March 2023
During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s edition of PBS’ “American Masters,” former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci argued that there are “a number of experiments that need to be done on viruses” that would require “doing something under certain circumstances that make a pathogen more transmissible or more pathogenic, which some people refer to as gain of function.” Fauci stated, [relevant remarks begin around 1:12:35] “There [are] a number of experiments that need to be done on viruses. How are you going to know whether or not they’re capable of infecting humans unless you examine them? Which means doing something under certain circumstances that make a pathogen more transmissible or more pathogenic, which some people refer to as gain of function.” He also stated, “Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was insidiously throwing into his little questions that the work that was done in the Wuhan lab, funded by a small grant from NIH — a strong implication that that created a virus that made COVID. I have 10,000 grants throughout the world. What they’ve done is…they’ve looked at various grants and they make something of it that it isn’t. The microbe they were working on, not only was not SARS-CoV-2, it would be molecularly impossible for them to turn it into SARS-CoV-2.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
