The EU’s reluctance to replace petrol cars and gas boilers keep it hooked on foreign fuels, say industry groups

    I’m a smalltime farmer on ~4000 sqm (~2 acres). I can’t think of anything that would replace my diesel tractor effectively now. Even though I’m just using it to till from time to time, it uses a lot of power to do that. An electric option that could tick all the boxes would be cool, but there’s no way I could afford that. For large-scale farmers, I don’t know what can exist that would meet their power and timing needs.

    I am looking forward to getting an electric car as my next vehicle, though.

    Honestly I’d hedge my shit across multiple fuel sources and types if I could afford it.

    And let’s be clear that the ability to turn off the valve to petro-fuel ALL AT ONCE is a power that will be useful politically.
