The dominant fossil fuels consumed in Switzerland are: 1. Oil products (petrol) 2. Nuclear 3. Oil (crude oil) **2.** The dominant fossil fuels are mostly used for transportation, but also for residential uses, commerce and public services. **3.** Analyzing Switzerland's final consumption Sankey diagram I notice that the energy used for residences and commerce is cleaner than the energy used for transportation (roads), because the last one relies mainly on petrol. Even though petrol and electricity represent a large part of the energy consumption for residential ends, the multitude of energy forms used on residential and commerce indicates that the efforts to introduce cleaner forms of energy is already present in this sector. Also, when analyzing the diagram's evolution over the years, we can observe that the use of oil products in road transportation has augmented, and by contrast, it has reduced in the residential sector, as it was replaced by other types of energy, like electricity, natural gas or renewable energies. The road sector is visibly, the one where we need to see more changes. I'm tented to say that changing commuting methods is the best solution (developing public transportation and the cycling network), but this is rather a long term solution that need a strong mindset change. In order to have a short term result, and attaining a cleaner energy balance sheet in the transportation sector I would propose a policy that benefits electric and hybrid vehicles over standard vehicles. Here is how I imagined it: ![electric vehicles infrastructure scheme][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14606660462820671.jpg
