@Nyssa The transition in agriculture is likely to be a sticking point, because the fossil fuel lobby will mobilize its armies of farmers, who were first hooked on and then kept dependent on pesticides and fertilizers.I look forward to hearing your announced remarks on this subject.

Not just that, but fossil fuel in itself.

For example, last year's (or was it 2023) farmer protests in Germany – the trigger was the plan of the then government to gradually reduce state subsidies for diesel for the farmers.

Ironically, the far-right, who have it in their program that they want to cut all subsidies, successfully hijacked the protests.

If only european farmers could fucking read
