I will just leave this recent study here:

Sorry for the German, here’s a translation of the abstract:

German Environmental Aid (DUH) proves: HVO100 from used cooking oil is more harmful to the climate than fossil diesel

• New study commissioned by DUH: HVO100 and “bio” diesel from used cooking oil are even more harmful to the climate than fossil diesel, taken as a whole from production to consumption.

• Promises of almost 90 percent CO2 savings refuted, as shifting effects boost climate-damaging palm oil production.

• DUH calls on the German government to stop the use and promotion of HVO100 from used cooking oil in road transport.

I’m still waiting to hear of the russian resistance blowing up trains that transport weapons to the front. Maybe these things happen and we just don’t hear anything about them, but I doubt it.

They have. They did.

We’ve got a new, conservative government in Germany since the beginning of 2025, replacing a (more or less) progressive one. The green party is no longer part of the government. We can elect stupid politicians all by ourselves, we don’t need the USA for that.
