Greenpeace and Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) think VW, along with German rivals Daimler and BMW, are not decarbonizing their car fleets fast enough. They think it so much they are taking the companies to court. In response, the auto makers have said they are going as fast as possible and any faster would be impossible. We discuss whether these environmental non-profits are making a solid case. And China has put into place more stringent carbon reduction goals. We have a recent report out discussing those goals and where there might be gaps. So of course, we gotta talk about it.
