Notice me tip jar (4.00 / 13)
I seem to recall someone linking to official French transport energy use statistics, but can't find it, nor recall who was it. (linca? Jérôme? afew? Pierre? Laurent Guerby?) Would be an interesting comparison.

Sorry, it's the total electric energy transported!

Re: Notice me tip jar (none / 1)
Dodo, my boss once told me the statistics about the spanish AVE.. I have no way to corroborate it (he assure me that it had taken into account the origin of the spanish pool energy).

An one person average diesel car prodcued roughly three times more thant a 60-80% filled Ave per person.

So basically, if you can fill the car up to 4 it is  better to take the car.. if you do not .. the fast train.

A  60-80% long-dsitance bus is far more efficient with the present pool of energy.

that's what he said.. no way to check... only autoritas, no data.

A pleasure
