Again, I don't buy the zero pollution BS, energy must be spent to compress that air and that energy has to be produced somehow. Switzerland most likely buys electricity from Italy and France, so yeah, pollution doesn't take place in Switzerland...

Hydroelectric, wind, solar are zero pollution with no carbon footprint. France produces 80% of it electricity with nuclear power plants. That leaves no carbon footprint. There are energy alternatives.
