GASOLINE CARS GREENER THAN ELECTRIC!!!

It has been said before, but I will repeat it again:

GASOLINE CARS GREENER THAN ELECTRIC!!!

and let me restate it again, just in case any ekonutsies don't get it:

GASOLINE CARS ARE  (and will continue to  be...) GREENER THAN ELECTRIC!!!

After a 2 year study the German Öko Institute has concluded that gasoline powered vehicles are cleaner than Electric powered vehicles. The implementation of electric cars will have NO IMPACT on the reduction of CO2 until 2020!  (let's ignore the fact that the whole CO2 meme is dubious...)

Instead, the study recommends further improvements in fuel efficiency of gasoline powered vehicles.

While the EU continues to stumble head over heels, foisting all sorts of ineffective Green initiatives upon its citizens, is it any wonder the economy of Europe is going down...and staying there?

BUREAUCRACY RUN AMOK

From this source, we learn about what it takes to start up an online business in Greece (hat tip to MK):
...At the health department, they were told that all the shareholders of the company would have to provide chest X-rays, and, in the most surreal demand of all, stool samples....
Bureaucracy run amok. Literally into the muck.
