BARSTOOL RANTS.

Since we all need another reason to be more like Europeans.


Switzerland is the pinnacle of environmental leadership.

SwissEnergy, Switzerlands energy program, lies in close co-operation between the federal government, the municipalities, trade and industry partners, environmental and consumer organizations, and public and private agencies to sets efficient standards for buildings, appliances, and transportation.

Freight trucks have cut thier annual road milage by 6%, while freight volumes have increased, an action that saves 1 trillion dollars per year. Since they are saving all that, money, more funding is allowed for rail infrastructure. Thanks to the funding boost, rail travel will see a 40% growth by 2030. They even have classes called EcoDrive to show people how to drive more efficiently.

I bet road rage doesn't even exist there. The Swiss Godfather is cleary at work behind all this.
