Germans want us to ban the internal combustion engines by 2030

Germans want us to ban the internal combustion engines by 2030: German politicians are calling for a total ban on internal combustion engines by 2030, and, not content with deciding their own affairs, they also want it to apply across the whole European Union. Although we can agree a bit on the thing that plug-in cars are better for the environment, we were thinking on how will the EU react to that? People are used to these powerful petrol cars, and banning them wouldn't it mean banning all of the car lovers?

The Bundesrat, or federal council, is asking the EU not just to consider its proposals to outlaw petrol and diesel cars, but to implement them right across the continent whether the French, Italians, Spanish and so on like it or not.
