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.
Even EU politicians like money, and can be persuaded to change their mind if presented with enough of it. And rich people like their planes.
Yeah, it’s funny when they see that it can happen to them too. How is germany doing with that Afd, anyway?
I assume the Afd is just waiting for the Americans to come “liberate” them with an impressive UNO reverse of WWII.
