Yves Cochet and Martine Billard members of the Green Party have proposed a law which will ban heat lamps and other energy guzzling appliances from terraces of French cafes and restaurants. If is too cold then sit inside!! It is probable that the law will be passed to the horror of the owners of these establishments. This may not seem significant but once again it proves Frances determination to be eco-conscious and shows how there legislation can pass laws which not only increase or decrease tax but also fight climate change. Similar bans are also being talked about on the Union level which again would put France ahead of the pack if this law passes.

I could see this potentially saving a lot of dough for the French...and I can also see, as you hinted if this bill gets passed a lot of angry store owners disgruntled for killing business and disgruntled couples for killing the mood. LOL
