Germany's environment chief: Fully eliminating forever chemicals 'not possible' - Euractiv (www.euractiv.com)
 

We have found PFAS elements in plenty of production processes and products. And for these cases, we don't have solutions that could be easily implemented in real time. So 'zero PFAS' is not possible.

Then, there are areas where we honestly have no idea how to replace PFAS, for example in many medical devices. And in these areas where we don't yet know how we can get PFAS out

Five facts about electric vehicles in 2024 in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Perhaps a combination of many factors. Anti-EV lobbying being one.

Transitioning from ICE to EV production will result in job redundancy in the manufacturing and assembly of engine, gearbox, exhaust, and other ICE-specific components. This could lead to mass layoffs, which would have severe political and economic implications .

Additionally there is a significant technological gap between legacy ICE manufacturers and EV manufactures to the point that legacy auto may never bridge the gap and will always be a step behind new EV manufacturers. Which may lead the whole industry and even the country to be hesitant to switch.

  • Other areas of note are the United Kingdom, which saw a roughly 17 per cent increase year-to-date.

  • In Turkey, the EV market grew by almost 50 per cent year-to-date

Basically in countries with no legacy auto manufacturers, EV sales increase much more rapidly.
