Put this in the ‘beyond ridiculous’ file that explains the current situation of a contracting European economy; specifically, in the auto sector.
Europe has fines associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn’t hit targets for sales of electric vehicles. The fines triggered this year. In order to avoid paying the European fines the auto makers are forming alliances with Chinese EV makers to purchase carbon credit offsets.
In essence, EU car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU fines. The Chinese car companies can then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize lower priced Chinese EVs to the European car market, thereby undercutting the European EV car companies. BRILLIANT!
MILAN, Oct 21 (Reuters) – Automakers have formed alliances to help them avoid hefty European Union fines on carbon emissions by purchasing credits from electric vehicle companies. Several legacy automakers face potential fines as the transition to EVs in Europe has proved slower than expected in recent years.
EU fines – which automakers have said could reach up to 15 billion euros ($17.5 billion) – were initially envisaged on 2025 carbon emission levels. In March, however, the European Commission yielded to pressure from automakers and allowed compliance based on their average emissions over 2025-2027. (read more)
Nissan is purchasing carbon credits from China’s BYD (Build Your Dream). South Korea is purchasing from Xping. Mercedes and Volvo are purchasing carbon credits from Chinese automaker Geely.
BYD and Geely are selling super cheap EVs into the entire EU car market. lol 😂 You can’t make this stuff up.
The EU economic offset plan? Let’s go to war with Russia.
Brilliant!
Explains a lot! Thank you, Sundance!
Idiots.
Rich idiots that will be moved before hell comes
It’s all based on the Climate Canard.
If that is false, all the “green energy” is a monumentally misguided effort.
It is false:

Note that the “green energy” is degrading only the west. China is feeding that degradation by supplying the battery and other tech. Clearly we see “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu in action.
Amen.
Great link.
They know climate change isn’t real.
They think we are dumbasses when we actually try to argue it and don’t just straight up call them out for the racket it is
No, that isn’t so. They do believe it is real. They ARE that DUMB!
I know. I have to work with them every day.
If you don’t believe it, check out the latest versions of the Energy Codes, adopted without argument by most states and ALL of the major engineering societies!
Just remeber that during the Scopes trial era, the Tennessee Legislature, to overcome unnecessary complexity that was hindering commerce, mandated that henceforth, within the state of Tennessee, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter would be exactly 3. That’s right. Pi=3 in TN. And it lasted almost a year, until they were able to round up the legislature and force them to repeal it!
same people that think a trans us real.🦨
That’s hilarious!
🤣🤣🤣
I looked into the TN pi=3 claim. It’s dubious. Snopes, fwiw, claims it’s an April Fool’s hoax, and that Robert Heinlein put something similar in one of his novels. Would be interested in contrary evidence!
Carbon credits are as pretend as climate change.
They are pieces of paper generated out of thin air to create a way to launder taxpayer dollars in “subsidies” that are used for payoffs and kickbacks.
There are trillions at stake.
🎵Seems to me😯I’ve Heard that Song Before🎵
Well, a whole lot of people are dumbasses, because they buy every bit of the cannard.
China builds back better with weekly online coal power plants.
The words “Death Spiral” were invented for just this occasion …
But who gave China the Carbon Credits to sell in the first place?
This is Dirt Worship being used a beard for Control and Wealth Transfer to Greedy Oligarchs, whose real agenda is Depopulation, a One World Beast Regime and Death.
We bind all these wicked schemes and speak boomerang over them and release Life More Abundant for all of God’s Children, in Jesus’ Mighty Name, Amen!
“Dirt Worship”…
I’m going to use that term.😎
Trade for doing business with that country.
Think of elons tax credits he got so pissed about. I assumed this went to the people that purchased the ev, but now it looks like it goes straight to the car company to lower the cost. Hell I still can’t figure it out
Elon survived on the CA carbon credits in the early days. Without them they would have been hemorrhaging money. With them, they actually posted a profit.
Me thinks the Gipper gets it!
I upvoted you even though you used all caps. Usually refuse on principle.
Last October the EU imposed / increased tariffs on EVs from China. So, does that mean that European car manufactures are basically paying the EU imposed tariffs on Chinese EVs? 🤪
Their stupid people are.
The euroweenies politicians are going straight pelosi style money making
It likely means that the Chinese EV automakers are selling pretend “carbon credits” to EU automakers for the EV cars the Chinese pretend to make in order to generate the pretend “carbon credits”.
It’s like watching a train full of haughty communists departing the station on the wrong track. You know they’re going to go off the rails up ahead, but they spit in your face and call you names if you even get within speaking distance, never mind actually say anything.
This is why our founding fathers insisted that the US keep out of the business in the rest of the world. Those people will drag us all into an early grave if we let them.
It’s like watching what would be happening here if Donald J. Trump had not been elected 3 times.
I remember Glen Beck on Fox with his chalkboard going over all this crazy carbon credit stuff.
Hmm. Perhaps it is like watching what IS COMING here if…?
Donald Trump is a dam holding the idiocy back. He has successfully removed or maybe at best delayed the idiocy from being unleashed. Once that dam breaks, that idiocy will come upon this country like a flood.
Unless the idiocy is completely destroyed, it will be a threat to destroy us.
Elect madness, experience madness.
I want a REFUND
such a bad movie being played.
This makes no sense in any sane world.
Maybe change the EU rules since electric vehicles aren’t and won’t be selling well?
Just a thought.
The operative word in your sentence is, “sane.”
I attended offshore windmill meetings here on the East coast. The amount of gaslighting and hubris by the Federal government was off the charts. The public was not really allowed to speak and the government employees, who I pay for, looked like Greta or the sad looking no kings protest crowd. The build back better crowd needs to be collected and put into a central location and have at it. An island such as Hati seems reasonable, just a big beautiful wall to protect Domenica.
Federal hiring is not diverse.
Every color that comes in thinks the same
Europe is out of feet, so they are now shooting themselves in the knees. I dunno about these guys…
Ah Sundance what a tangled web we weave by side stepping problems which just creates others. Fact is there is only one major problem in all nations and that’s over population. We allow people who have over birth their own nation into ours. Then, instead of turning to nature to solve our lack of everything in our country, we turn to destroying life be it animal, vegetable, mineral, or ourselves. As long as we look to death to answer our problems, life with only spiral downward.
We are not over populated, we are over manipulated.
who are we?
That’s right out of Mother Jones.
not sure who mother jones is but mother nature knows what I’m talking about.
KANADA is planning on doing the same. Our Idiot King Justin started the grift and Carney is perfecting it. Us Canadians who don’t have brain damage need to leave. Canada has fallen and if we were a country somewhere in South America with a Marxist ruler, this would make sense. The “Elbows up” crowd up here are infuriating how they bad mouth the Greatest Country in the history of the world. I can’t stand 75% of my fellow Canadians because they keep voting the FILTHY LIBERALS into power.
The European Union continues to boldly put the “EU” in Eunuch.
FUBAR comes to mind.
LOL, is this a Leonard Wibberley sequel….?
And these are supposed to be the smartest people in the world?
“ the wicked are snared in the work of their own hands.”
Yasssss!
Europe is gone. Sorry for the European people who are used to following kings. They’re too asleep with month long vacations and define pensions to do anything about it.
“There are no contradictions in politics. If you think you’ve encountered one, then one of your premises is wrong.”
The purpose of the globalists in the EU and here, is to shrink the economy and destroy the middle class. You will own nothing and be happy. This is the goal with Canada’s trade war, and it’s the goal in California & other Dem controlled states.
Hence the Pre-Planned “Wildfires”–they were fires, but not “wild”.
Makes perfectly common sense.
😆🤣😂
The simple fact that you can buy carbon credits just shows how deep the environmental scam really goes.
If they can sell Carbon Credits to allow you to exhale, they can sell Oxygen Credits to allow you to inhale.
Screw that. NO.
Yup, it’s like the Medieval church selling Indulgences.
From the Gobmint themselves, its a hoax.

China must have an extreme amount of “compromat” on the EU Communists.
The true picture of “burning it all down to rule over the ashes.”
But when they have enough electric cars and have to recharge them every night, they will be building more coal-powered plants to provide the “clean” electricity. 🤡
Oh the irony!
HURRY, HURRY HURRY. BIG SALE going on!
Please contact me if you need carbon credits. No amount is too big.

What is it that Globalists can do that make a set of “leaders” so stupid they march their countries so defiantly toward the cliffs?
America is so fortunate to have Trump to end our spells, but few others measure up to his abilities!
Victor Orban is the only one I can think of.
What is it that Globalists can do that make a set of “leaders” so stupid they march their countries so defiantly toward the cliffs?
This reminds me of that time when Jesus cast out the demons from a possessed man, and the demons asked him to let them go into a herd of swine.
And He did.
What is ” it ” ?
Money.
They know they are marching towards the cliff . They don’t care . They got their money.
The thing about it is , Eventually they will go over the cliff along with everybody else . And the money they are clutching won’t stop it.
The politicians get a huge kickback screwing their land.
The China model works well with whores.
That’s an insult to prostitutes!
Extreme incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
A stunning new way to launder money, from your pocket to the elites.
Stupid is as stupid does.
FILTHY LIBERAL Canada has an EV Mandate.
20% of 2026 vehicles sold by automakers had to be Electric. Same rule, you buy offset credits from Tesla, which was ironic since the Lefttards HATE Elon. CARNEY Reluctantly paused this insanity.
meanwhile, Canaduh’s Carney touts “Carbon capture’ and ‘Decarbonzed Oil Pipelines’….We are an UNSERIOUS Nation being led by The Head Marxist UN Climate Doofus (He represented the US).
a FILTHY LIBERAL
“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
― Vladimir Ilich Lenin
If, as they say, “CO2 is a pollutant,” then I have two things to tell them. (1) Stop eating any green plant, or anything that eats green plants. (In other words: “starve.”) Photosynthesis must be eliminated . . .
(2) Stop breathing. You exhale CO2. Like every breathing thing does.
Now, when you “stop eating plants,” they will proliferate, and this will convert(!) even more CO2 back to Oxygen.
The turning of the doom loop accelerates.
It makes sense if you look at it correctly.
Someone in the EU is making billions on this idiocy and it makes perfect sense to them.
Tesla is saus to have made lots of money selling emissions credits over the years
They absolutely have. While in CA, it was carbon credits that kept them semi profitable. Without, they would have been losing money every year.
Clown show. Almost all of Europe is a clown show.
These CO₂ emission fines on automakers selling vehicles in the EU could total around €15 billion, with penalties potentially reaching €300 million, for EVERY missed percentage point of EV sales targets. It will be interesting to see if the European Union authority (e.g. EU Commission, EU Parliament, EU Council) even continues to allow U.S. automakers to pool carbon credits with Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla, BYD, Leapmotor, and Polestar to avoid the fines and penalties long-term, as the allowance was made so the automotive industry could navigate the challenges of this EU legislation while maintaining competitiveness in the market.
How does the biggest polluter in the world have excess carbon credits to sell?
Clown World!
Nonsensical. I guess I’ll ask anyway, Why not buy from each other?
They are all short of the CO2 target. Nobody has sufficient CO2 deficits to meet the demand for the credits.
Everyone but China.🤣
Calling them idiots is a severe insult to all other idiots. The EU idiots are exponentially worse. They must like holding their swords high on the hilltop in a lightning storm.
Hmmm … It’s as if China created these rules. Head scratcher…
It defies gentlemanly comportment to be amused by the misguided, reckless, and self-defeating foolishness of others. However, the irony of this humor is sufficiently pure for me to accept being labeled as rude.
Buying carbon offsets from the most poluted planet on earth.
It all makes sense when you realize that the oligarchs who control much of Europe want China to rule the NWO. That is why they demonize Russia. And are trying to trigger WWIII. Another European World War will depopulate America, Russia and Europe. Thus leaving Goddless China victorious.
