A bit off topic but I wish someone would make a similar page
about how much fuel the president of the US uses when travelling
per year while in office.
Let us take a foreign trip to Norway.
A friendly allied country with a low threat profile.
4 - 6 weeks prior to travel a team flies in to plan the route,
mitigate problems, update schedules and demand accommodations
from the host country.
Weld your manhole covers shut, empty out floors on some buildings.
have all traffic stopped in a radius of X miles, etc etc
Same with the hotel, the venue etc etc.
The closer we get more aids, vehicles, infrastructure air airlifted in.
The flight with POTUS itself, who might or not have fighter jet escort
for parts of the trip. and the "Pentagon and military command and control
jet accompanies AirForce one.
The presidential limousine (The beast) has to gulp gasoline like no other
two cars on earth. Perhaps there are other equally armored and fortified limousines around the world, I really dont know
Then of course everything in reverse to return home.
I bet that in a year, the emission from POTUS traces exceeds that of
several countries.
Something I often think about when POTUS travels to environmental
conferences. The best POTUS could do was to attend remotely (and
sign documents digitally? (not sure if that can be done)
- encryptluks2 4y agoThis is the way it has always been. The same politicians pushing water conservation and other environmental issues are the ones invested in businesses that are the biggest abusers, but then they go put the guilt on the people using a very small fraction and get them to spend more money thinking it is them causing the problem.
