Concurrently, critics argue the European Union has been insincere with the public regarding the severity of Middle Eastern oil supply disruptions and the inadequacy of renewable energy to fill the gap.

Other proposals include odd/even license plate refueling days and reduced motorway speed limits. These measures are framed as a return to 1970s-style rationing, with the media attempting to validate the "prescience" of Jimmy Carter's failed energy policies.

The Economist suggests Europe should rediscover the "spirit of the 1970s" by implementing lower speed limits, pedestrian days, and lower indoor temperatures to reduce reliance on Russian energy.

Techniques include driving at 55 mph, coasting in neutral, and drafting behind trucks. The hosts recall similar behaviors from the 1970s oil crisis and predict that the federal government may eventually move to reinstate lower national speed limits to destroy fuel demand.

The hosts compare these proposals to the 1970s energy crisis measures.

This move draws comparisons to the 1970s gasoline crisis in the United States and Europe, which saw the implementation of car-free Sundays. These measures are framed as part of the broader response to climate change and the COP25 summit.

This policy shift is intended to free up "carbon budget" space to allow the construction sector to build 75,000 new homes, partly to accommodate rising immigration. The move is noted as a reversal of the same party's previous policy that had raised the speed limit years prior.

Proposals to lower national speed limits from 130 km/h to 100 km/h and reintroduce car-free Sundays are meeting public resistance. Critics suggest these moves are driven by politicians seeking high-level positions within the European Union.

The European Union is considering making such technology mandatory in all new cars. The hosts warn that these safety features will eventually be used for remote repossession for missed lease payments or to issue automatic speeding tickets via "black box" data.

They argue that this model often creates cognitive dissonance by presenting contradictory facts—such as a report claiming higher speed limits cause more deaths while simultaneously noting record-low fatality rates—without providing a resolution or deeper investigation.

Beyond debt collection, this technology provides a framework for the state to monitor driving habits and issue automated fines for speeding or illegal U-turns. Similar systems are already mandatory for taxi cabs in cities like Amsterdam.

The technical aspects of the tolling system, which uses cameras and mail-in billing rather than traditional toll booths, are explained.
