Gas pipelines (in red) with cantonal and national border lines (data from the Federal Office of Topography)
Don’t tell the Russians
When you think how expensive it is to maintain such network of pipelines leaking methane when you could heat your home with clean electricity instead…
Maybe Lac Leman becomes Whirlpool 2.0
There are roughly 2300 kms of those in Switzerland, you can spot them by looking out for orange house-shaped markings.
There even is a large gaz deposit under Lake Geneva, near Villeneuve, the exploitation of which makes economical sense but it wasn’t developed due to environmental concerns. However, new strategic developments could change this.
I mean, where do you think all of those farts are going when Swiss people are done consuming gallons of fondue?
There is a special pipe in the bathroom of every Swiss house for this. You sit on it, release your cheese fondue gas from the night before, and THIS is how the Swiss have energy independence. Don’t tell the Russians!
