The EU imports 97 percent of their crude oil, which is needed to refine diesel and still import a further 10% of their refined diesel.

It is somewhat amazing that Europe hasn't embraced electrification even more but taxing diesel use to encourage using it wisely is a smart geopolitical play given their situation.

This caps the amount of CO2 you can emit; which is good :)
