| France will run trains free from fossil fuel, says Chirac |
|
 wildwell writes "JACQUES CHIRAC, the French President, has stolen a march on Tony Blair’s proposed energy review by pledging that no train in his country would be powered by conventional fossil fuels by 2026.
M Chirac used a new year’s address yesterday to cement France’s commitment to nuclear power as well as urging an accelerated development of solar energy and electronic and hybrid diesel cars. In addition, the French President wants to see a fivefold increase in biomass fuels production over the next two years

(User Info ) | | 2026! Such a bold move... I am speechless. We need more leadership like this in the world today. All our problems would be solved if we had more courageous leaders like Mr. Chirac. I would tip my hat to you, Mr. Chirac, but it is pretty cold here today in Warsaw, so I think I'll keep it on (while I wait for the electric powered tram). |
