Lump In My Dogs Chest

> Transport and Environment ...

Transportation is a major player in the economic vitality and development of our territory but it is potentially creator of a nuisance, like the famous greenhouse gas emissions, blamed for global warming.

The government has tried through, including its environmental Grenelle, set rules such as assigning a bonus or penalty to vehicles purchased new or used during the realization of the gray card. This fee is at least debatable on the merits because we know a car rejects an average of 150 g CO ² / km against 800 to 900 g for a truck based on its tonnage ... Besides vehicles subject to this "environmental bonus" are very often small cars that have only 3 or 4-star crash-test EuroNCAP! Therefore one could almost say that on one hand the government wants to strengthen road safety (this should not only through repression and deterrence of law enforcement), and other measures to encourage the purchase of vehicles less "reassuring" ... The big problem

emission Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation of more goods that are at 80% by road, against just 12% by train on average over the national territory. In the Vosges, including the 3rd district, the numbers are even more desperate because we have logically or river and air transport but the freight station is virtually reduced to nil since the closure Station Remiremont goods since December 2004 ... let alone stop for a long time all rail traffic in the valleys of the Moselle and Moselotte Vologne (at the top)!

collectives like TG2V in Gerardmer, amounted to challenge the local and regional representatives, but did they really intend to advance the debate?

With the temporary closure of the Maurice Lemaire tunnel, it is not less than 6,500 trucks crossing daily Vosges our necks. For the single pass is Bussang 2300 PL / day, when we know that the convoys of more than 19 T are banned from 22 pm to 6 h, we can almost say that it is 150 trucks per hour on average, as is unbearable especially when Thillot decibels and polluted air make people's lives ... especially painful

The challenge for the coming years will be good to meet the demand for increased mobility while minimizing the impact on the environment! Instead of sustainable development we should talk about development here livable!
