With France’s announcement that they are banning commercial short haul flights, but not private jets, it’s pretty obvious who these “constraints of energy use” will affect in the future.

🔹”The days of short-haul flights in Europe are numbered, at least in France. On Friday the European Commission gave the go ahead for France to prevent flights between Paris Orly airport and Nantes, Lyon, and Bordeaux.”

🔹”If, after three years, the concept is judged successful then more flight routes will be banned.”

🔹”France – which has the highest number of private jet flights in Europe – won’t likely ban private jets, however, but more likely apply heavy taxation and restrictions, asking companies to be more transparent in how their corporate jets are used.”

(Note: the restrictions actually passed are for commercial flights, private jet taxations are “planned.”)

▪️It’s also interesting to see the continuing evolvement of language among the Green New Deal types. It’s no longer climate change but “climate breakdown.” What is a climate breakdown?!
