The people in the Val di Susa Region fight against the planned 54-km-long TAV-high-speed-train-tunnel because the work at the tunnel will set free uranium and asbest from inside the mountain.
The TAV will connect Lissabon (portugal) with Kiew (Ukraine) via Spain, France,.Italy, Austria and so on...

Can't wait to ride this baby...

Seriously though, apart from the fact that this route is entirely fictional, do you expect people just to sit around at home and live off the land? Or are you happy with the skies being full of polluting aircraft and the roads rammed with polluting cars and lorries? High speed rail is a sensible and practical means of transport, or would you rather live between an airport and a motorway?

high speed trains are excellent - but not if their tunnels pollute your village or region with radioactive uranium.

by the way: this fight is about autonomie and democracy - the people want to decide BY THEIR OWN when what and where something is built. they give a shit on governments´ decisions.
