According to the energy transition, innovation and efficiency master plan of the Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles, mentioned The duty of June 11, Quebec will miss its objective to reduce the consumption of petroleum products.
Only those who never use our road network will be surprised. Large vehicles reign supreme here, and few are those who respect the speed limits. According to the Natural Resources Canada website, “at a speed of 120 km/h, a vehicle consumes about 20% more fuel than when traveling at 100 km/h”.
As the transport sector is the one that contributes the most to greenhouse gas emissions, this is where we must act resolutely. All you have to do is reduce the speed limit on our highways to 90 km/h, tolerating a maximum of 100 km/h, and take real steps to enforce this limit. Wouldn’t that be an effective and relatively simple way to quickly and significantly reduce our oil consumption? The Master Plan does mention, on page 6, the need to reduce speed limits, but this route is not mentioned anywhere else in the document. Professor Pineau, quoted at length in the article by To have to, don’t talk about it either. Why is she so silent?
