      Nah, there’ll be like a junior VP or department head paid to take the fall, and the people that actually signed off will wipe their hands and feign ignorance.

      Hahaha, you’re so funny. The emission scandal was about NOx, that’s mostly air pollution and it wasn’t just VW, it was basically any car manufacturer that sold cars with diesel engines.

    “Well this is highly surprising!”, said exactly nobody.

    Honestly this should have been expected. It’s baffling that self-reported numbers are taken at face value

      No, actually they (the conservative party) were blabbing about “jobs” while letting the solar industry die

        Meanwhile the Green party literally shutting down nuclear reactors for more coal and gas plants, and of course the debacle of tearing down windmills to do open pit coal mining.

          It was never the Green party shutting down nuclear reactors but the conservatives in reaction to Fukushima. One of them even threated to resign if this doesn’t happen. But now they blame it in the Green party because they are populists not caring about the truth.
