43 - A Tale of Two ICEs (Transport and climate policy update w/ Giulio Mattioli)

Ted talks to transport researcher Giulio Mattioli about recent transit-related German news, including Germany’s recent efforts to block a measure ending the sale of internal combustion engine cars at the EU-level. You can read more about that here. 

For more from Giulio, you can follow him on Twitter: ⁠@giulio_mattioli⁠.

Following the interview, we consider a recent article in Der Spiegel that says, come on, give the FDP a break! (Spoiler: we will not be giving the FDP a break.) You can check out that article for yourself here.
