Faced with the risk of electricity supply shortages announced by the government for this winter, companies like the French are invited to make an effort. Sandrine Rousseau, EELV-NUPES deputy for the 9th district of Paris, guest of Europe Matin on Tuesday, lists a few solutions.
Anticipating a possible interruption of Russian gas delivery this winter is the hypothesis put forward by Agnès Pannier-Runacher, the Minister for Energy Transition, last week on Europe 1. Companies and individuals are therefore invited to adapt their behavior now to avoid power cuts this winter. For Sandrine Rousseau, EELV-NUPES deputy for the 9th district of Paris, guest of Europe Matin on Tuesday, there are several other solutions.
Increase the use of teleworking to reduce our fuel consumption, lower “VAT on public transport”, whether it “is zero or 5.5%”, “reduce the speed on the motorways” and “do in so that taking the train is easier and cheaper than the car “… Here are the few measures listed by the MP on Europe 1.
“We must put the table back”
“For those who are lucky enough to go on vacation, it can cost much less to go by car than to go by train. Train tickets are at incredibly high prices!”, She said. “That’s part of the state measures we should take.”
“But it’s the same on public transport,” she continued. “Why do we pay so much for public transport when we know that it is eminently less carbon emitting? We really have to put the table back.”
