Defining a real energy strategy
Overview
Developing an energy strategy on a national and regional scale is central in the face of climate emergency and the imperative to put in place a sustainable ecological transition. The energy production model is decided on the long term, while nuclear power plants are aging, renewable energies have not overcome their limits and the abandonment of fossil fuels is becoming more urgent. In recent years, we have had many choices in terms of technological innovations to change our production and consumption patterns. In order to ensure its energy and economic sovereignty, France must know how to capitalise on its assets. But the investments required to transform production systems are colossal and must be anticipated over many years. The various recovery plans impose a greening of economies in the post-crisis period, yet are they accompanied by a global and integrated strategy for a long-term vision for energy production and consumption? It is essential to define clear objectives and an economic model that is both inspired by our European partners and tailored to our country. Therefore, which energy strategy can be considered to reconcile the efforts of all the players and enable both the environment and the economy to be strengthened?
