Fuels, a black day for transport ...

[Christophe]

and fuel sellers ... but a green day for the atmosphere?

That's it on June 16, the day "blocking" by truckers and "I don't use my car just for 1 day because I received an email telling me to do it and I would like to go to the islands this summer"by individuals. The purpose of this subject is therefore to follow the various events via the press.

Diesel: truckers occupy the roads
France News - 06:13

At the initiative of their professional organizations, truckers are called upon to carry out snail operations everywhere in France today. They are asking for measures to compensate for the increase in diesel. But they promise not to hinder candidates for the Bac.

The challenge of truckers to Europe
Charles Gautier

On Monday, more than 3 truckers protest against the rise in fuel prices. They will block several major routes and increase snail operations throughout France.
On Monday, more than 3 truckers protest against the rise in fuel prices. They will block several major routes and increase snail operations throughout France.

The members of the three main road organizations joined together to paralyze most French cities on Monday.

More than 3 trucks will block major highways and access to major cities on Monday for much of the day. Symbolically, several convoys of trucks will even go to the small town of Sablé-sur-Sarthe, of which François Fillon is president of the community of municipalities. However, to avoid putting public opinion against them, they will only demonstrate between 9 a.m. and 16 p.m. so as not to disturb the baccalaureate exams.

Mdr the bac ...

Note: they do not want to put the general public on their backs but block the main roads ... Pkoi they do not target the real people responsible? The State on the one hand, blocking of the ministries, and the tankers on the other hand, blocking of refineries and oil terminals?

We, the people, suffered as much as they ...

Otherwise I would love to see the pollution and volume figures on fuel sales for today

[Targol]

What particularly annoys me are the demands.
Rather than claiming professional rates for diesel (by the way, the guy who uses his car to go to work because there is no alternative in terms of transportation, isn't it professional use?), They would do better to demand a real research policy for alternatives.

Are they so stupid that they don't see that whatever rebate they get, it will only be a reprieve?

It is as if cancer patients are demonstrating to demand lower tobacco prices.

Do not fishermen and truckers realize that in any case, it is the very foundation of their profession (at least, as it is practiced today) which depends on a sold oil?

Industrial fishing is dying. It may be the only thing that will prevent the extinction of bluefin tuna or cod. It is time to return to smaller boats, driven by renewable energies and to less energy-consuming fishing systems (trawling is a typical example: pulling an immense trap behind one or more boats with thousands of hp, it's over)

As for road transport, let us rejoice because soon, the delocalized factories will return, the tail between the legs, closer to their distribution markets; transport costs exceeding those of production. This will create jobs for former road hauliers !!!

But putting an infusion (for life) is faster to set up than developing a vaccine ...

The worst is that we continue to make fun of us with water doping ...

ps.

Yes, but you really have to be short-sighted not to realize that today's infusion will have to be connected to the tap tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to a fire hydrant !!!

If the state had not burned its budget to give gifts to Sarko's friends, we would have € 12 billion for research on public transport, and alternative mobility.

Another element to take into account: time.
I predict soon the end of tense flows, deliveries in 24 hours and around the world in 80 hours (to use V. Hugo).
The human being will finally come back to realities and realize that the "always further, always faster, always higher", it also goes well with "always more stupid !!!".

We will finally regain the scale that is ours: that of walking, at best animal traction.
We are finally going to rediscover that we have neighbors and that going to the end of the world to find what we have outside our door means nothing.

[Remundo]

Well spoken Targol! Even if we can do a little better than animal traction while respecting the environment

[Christophe]

Yes, but you really have to be short-sighted not to realize that today's infusion will have to be connected to the tap tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to a fire hydrant !!!

Without any cliché, have you ever spoken to a fisherman or truckers? I'm not sure that long-term reasoning is in their vocabulary ...

Animal traction is clearly not a solution: indirectly it "pollutes" more than oil.

Yes, try to replace all virtual horses with real horses and you will see that there is not enough surface on Earth to feed them.

What is needed is to use less power, less transport ... quite "simply" so +1 with the conclusion of Targol.

Excellent! +1

a former peasant said the other day that his income had increased with the purchase of his first tractor, not that yields were improving but because he had replaced his 4 horses with 4 dairy cows ...
well yes it eats horses .....

By chance, it was not Mr. Pochon, author of "furrows of anger" (and others) speaking of the exploitation of the farm of his father because everything sticks neat
