Does A Blue Shirt Go With A Black Tie

Allegre, global warming and the car

She runs, she runs, the rumor of the return of the Mammoth "openness" in a revamped 15 of Rooster by President Sarkozy, nose and beard of coach Fillon. If we think (and hope) that this information will remain only rumors and that denial will return to his reading (he fell asleep on the first page of the IPCC report), it is a great opportunity to return to the topic of "the car and the environment."

Rubric The Energy Chain any expansion of the site. Com we have already reported the relevance of the presentations, publishes an interesting article and synthetic issue.

Within The Cars That , we believe the news, the media and politicians focus too much on single environmental pillar of sustainable development which has yet two more "economic" and "social". If the thesis of Allegre proved true, and if a new energy, totally green, fell from the sky by some miracle, we would not have done so far with the car consumer space (at the expense of green space or bike lanes), noisy, expensive and insecure (possession, use, time lost in traffic jams)!
short, the electric car will not save us, alas. European researchers are unanimous (in a near Mammoth): the only advanced Technology will not respond in the best case, only 50% reduction targets in greenhouse gas emissions on the continent (- 20% in 2020). We must therefore encourage, educate, provide alternative investment. Injury, the French recovery plan emphasizes the car and the road ... What an anachronism!

the occasion of an interview published in the free daily 20 Minutes , the association The Cars That reaffirmed development potential of car sharing and its opposition to the project Autolib Paris, expensive and not environmentally friendly.


few days later, the Green Group in the Paris Council repeated the same arguments and Bertrand Delanoƫ proposed a massive development of carsharing in Ile-de-France, building on existing businesses ( Mobizen, Okigoo, Community Chest, Carbox). But it does not seem to hear. The taxpayer could pay dearly in Paris this political war ...

Private Hire and condominiums, two other ways to use the car otherwise

Carsharing, carpooling, classic rental, taxis ... The purpose displayed by these additional services is a shift from private cars to more environmentally friendly alternative and more economical (cycling, walking, public transport ,...).

this encouraging the dispossession of the car and the abuse that goes with it.
