What Excellent News!

Apparently there’s something that we’ve not been told:

However, VW’s overall message was that power, glory and passion still
matter. It was as if the German carmaker was ignoring the speech
delivered only two hours earlier in the nearby Jahrhunderthalle by
Carlos Ghosn, head of Renault and Nissan. He said that climate change
posed the biggest technical and financial challenge for the global car
industry in the 21st century (when the oil runs out midway through the
century and the internal combustion engine is replaced by hydrogen fuel
cells).

So, the oil runs out in 2050 and we all use hydrogen. Great! That’s climate change solved then. Next problem please!

  1. I’m fairly certain that the ever-increasing number of coal power stations all over Asia might still chip in with a bit of global warming over the next 50 years or so.

  2. Silly question but why does the Guardian have a business section?

    It’s where they mind other people’s.

  4. And when the hydrogen runs out we can just switch to electric cars.

  5. How does a fuckwit like that get to be head of Renault and Nissan?

  6. Because he’s extremely good at it [obligatory Dillow nod to the Myth of Managerialism], having turned both companies around from unprofitable wrecks to reasonably successful firms.

    The Guardian subscribers have a tendency to watch their own money quite closely and a desire to pass it on. So, they have a Business section.
