Energy transition: the real choices.

Summary "This book draws up an inventory of the strengths and weaknesses of the French energy model. On the plus side: unparalleled energy expertise and heritage. On the minus side: overdependence on hydrocarbons, an insufficient share of renewables, and prices that do not reflect the reality of the market. So how can we rebuild our model: should we lift the ban on shale gas to reduce our imports? What place for nuclear power in the face of global warming? Who will pay for the development of renewable energies and the associated transformations? Finally, how can we make our energy system more efficient and fight against growing energy insecurity? Citizens, consumers, professionals, we are all concerned to one degree or another by these questions. Breaking down a number of taboos - on prices, shale gas, nuclear power - this book sheds light on the issues at stake in the debate and highlights the opportunities of the necessary transition that is opening up to us."
