An EU court has said the manufacture of private jets can’t be excluded from a list of activities deemed to be environmentally sustainable, fuelling concerns about the greenwashing of the emissions of the super-rich.
The list, intended to provide an overview of green investments, previously excluded aircraft for private or commercial business aviation due to their high emissions compared with other forms of transport following a 2023 decision by the European Commission.
The court argued that the 2023 ruling was made with a number of errors, including that other modes of transport couldn’t necessarily be seen as low-carbon alternatives as they “lack the flexibility and speed” of private jets.
And pizza is a vegetable in Kansas. What was that about Pi being equally to 3? I remember a law setting that (or at least hinting it).
The law is not reality and needs to be fought when unjust. The EU is damaging itself on many fronts by bowing to the rich like this.
That was Indiana, and the law didn’t get passed because someone with a brain just happened to be there at the right time.
Politicians work for oligarchs!
