Suddenly those huge outdoors heaters have become very popular in Italy, just to allow customers to smoke outside. I wonder how much in terms of wasted energy has the 8% in smoking cost Italy - what with all these heaters trying in vain to create a space of 50cm that is bearably warm so that someone can slowly kill themselves

As for cars - I have to admit that the situation here in Sicily is quite bad. Too many camion because the rail system is practically non-existent and since there are not enough highways these camion fight it out in what can only be called country roads.

Then when it comes to city centres, especially historic ones with narrow roads and town planning for horses and carts and not SUVs the situation is even worse.
