Water company gets €7.5M to green fleet

What does that headline even mean? According to Lusa it means that Águas de Portugal will be receiving €7.5 million to lease a fleet of 752 hybrid cars for its top brass and managers. The money is coming out of the Environmental Fund. Says the State news agency: “The government’s resolution justifies this support with the goals of the Paris Agreement for the containment of global temperature and Portugal’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gases between 85% and 90% by 2050, compared to 2005, considering that ‘green fleets’ are included in the concrete measures of the plan to combat climate change and decarbonisation”…
