Oil ads? I hardly recall seeing ads for oil. Maybe ban ads for ICE vehicles would be more in line with their goals. Not that I necessarily support that.

- OptionOfT 2y agoWhen I was living in Belgium I frequently saw ads for heating oil, as they were battling a rise in more stringent emission standards for home furnaces, and they were losing against the natural gas ones, whose emissions are much much lower.
- legitster 2y agoIt's crazy to think that people are campaigning against natural gas when there are still so many worse energy sources in the world. Germany is reactivating lignite coal plants, for goodness sakes.
- marcinzm 2y agoMay have something to do with who the supplier of natural gas to Europe used to be.
