The unanswered questions of automobile traffic are continuously placed at the focus of the newest climate-change discussions. As before, important questions remain unanswered: what automobile concepts hold promise for the future? Are bio-fuels really bio? What long-term strategies make sense? Novatlantis - sustainability at the ETH-domain and the Basel-land Department for Climate Protection and Energy held a mobility breakfast in which the the BFE and the ETH-domain presented their newest findings. Around eighty decision makers from the political and economical arenas attended the event, informing themselves about the latest mobility facts and trends in a relaxed breakfast atmosphere.
