by bus, or train (if there’s such a thing in NA)
I’m aware train infrastructure in limited in NA, hence the “if”. Let’s hope the inability to operate some flights due to fuel cost motivates expansion of modern train infrastructure in the area.
There’s only 600km between Montreal and NYC, and no ocean to cross. It’s absolutely possible to make the trip by bus, or train (if there’s such a thing in NA).
Thanks. This explain why cruise ships are much more wasteful than ferries:
perhaps the biggest difference is the payload. […] The reason, of course, is that a cruise ship is a floating village, with shops, restaurants, swimming pools and the like
This is why it’s important to compare transportation mode all things being equal. Keep in mind there’s lot of people flying coach, very few planes with individual cabins and restaurants. Cruise ships are designed for entertainment and luxury. Ferries are designed for transportation.
Les syndicats vont ils saisir le tribunal administratif? Le gouvernement invite les entreprises à enfreindre le droit du travail.
I’d be interested into some data on this topic.
My undersranding is plane is one of the most polluting mode of transportation, all things being equal. It probably vary a lot depending on the specific ship/plane, route, …
Data from the UK’s Department for Energy Securityand Net Zero (2022) shows the carbon footprint is 8x higher for short/long-haul fight than for ferry. (CO2eq per passenger-km). Carbon footprint is strongly coupled with fuel consumption. It’s not quite the same, but I’d expect the ratio to be roughly the same.
Right, I know nothing except it seems to involve jet fuel. This is a general comment on vacations by plane, don’t take it personally.
If oil shortage is severe enough and long lasting, we might see passenger ships coming back for transatlantic travel. How badly do you need to cross the atlantic?
Vacations doesn’t require jet fuel.
Relatively few people in the world visit the other side of the world by plane. For our sake it should remain a rare occurrence. For most vacations, there’s plenty of places that one can reach by train and bus.
If your area has shitty train infrastructure or too few bus lanes, I’m sorry, you may want to have a close look at where your taxes are going.
That’s a hard pivot. And building more AI infrastructure is a bad idea. But they might make some short term money given the AI hype.
1.225 M EUR is the maximum fine allowed by law for one of the charges. There was a 4,57 M EUR customs fine added on top of that for violating international sanctions. The fine is shared between the company AND the former executives involved.
If the law allowed it, the amount could have been higher. Fining the company AND former executives, as well as sending the former CEO to jail is a good way to hold people accountable.
Oui, la police l’a arrêté à l’énoncé du mandat de dépôt, dans la tribunal. Il est parti directement en prison.
Je crois que les juges préviennent la police juste avant de prononcer un mandat de dépôt, pour arrêter très rapidement la personne, qui peut sinon être tentée de disparaître.
La crise pétrolière c’est comme un Bat-Signal pour JM Jancovici.
Bruno Lafont, Lafarge’s former CEO, was arrested in the courthouse upon sentencing and immediately sent to prison.
Praise be EU solidarity
La presse en parle beaucoup, donc j’imagine que c’est du second degrés.
Il me semble utile de partager cet article, il s’agit d’un nouveau développement et apparemment un crime de guerre.
Bien souvent on pourrait se passer des articles lorsqu’il s’agit de rapporter continuellement des divagations de Trump et spéculations sur l’évolution de la guerre.
Low to average reliability is fine if the service is cheap, and if that avoid the need for backup diesel generators in datacenters.
I doubt this applied to Github:
Microsoft to use diesel-fired generators as backup power for data centers
Yes, assuming (local) government realize modern train infrastructure is useful and decides to start building more right now.
