La vidéo installe très tôt son cadre idéologique : le marché de l’électricité serait intrinsèquement absurde et la solution logique serait un retour au monopole public (voire européen).

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.

This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

The man who once saved the Eurozone from itself now wants to save the EU from America.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

Europe should draw inspiration from the Indian union The subcontinent was also once split into small states speaking different languages, but the Indian union has brought great success. As the EU and India strike a trade deal, there are wider lessons.

A continent divided into many states with different languages, histories & religions - overcoming their differences and uniting into one federation.

A pipe dream for Europe? No. It's the modern reality of India. And it shows it can be done.

We've just had a huge, multi-year energy supply shock that is still bleeding through consumer prices across Europe. Is that not sufficient to put some of this nonsense to bed? We know what the costs of over-reliance on commodity imports and the lack of new domestic power investment is. We've seen it

China is now the leading clean energy powerhouse with the West falling behind.

The transition is inevitable; the key question is where and how fast it happens.

Pourquoi l’énergie polarise autant la vie politique française - Gaz d'aujourd'hui Le débat français sur l’énergie reste largement polarisé entre défense du nucléaire et promotion des énergies renouvelables, à tort.

"Tant que l’énergie restera un marqueur de confrontation idéologique plutôt qu’un sujet de politique publique structurant, la polarisation continuera d’éclipser l’essentiel : comment produire, oui, mais surtout comment consommer autrement."
