Is short domestic flights in France that much of a carbon producers? I mean is the measure just a fig leaf or is it a real step in the right direction?
Checking French sources, the only lines are apparently between Paris and Nantes, Lyon and Bordeaux.
- JBorrow 6y agoA large proportion of the carbon emissions from flights come from takeoff (you have to haul the plane, full of fuel, up through the gravitational potential)
- baud147258 6y agoI was more asking in the context of the French carbon production, not just the airlines
- hadlock 6y agoMost of France is Nuclear powered, and they haven't outlawed breeder reactors (which recycles spent fuel) for regan-esque cold war reasons, so with electric cars on the horizon soon and electric trains now, they're well positioned to Nope right out of the global fossil fuel race/struggle.
