Nous avons bâti un système qui n’est stable que dans l’expansion.
[…] c’est-à-dire que dans un litre d’essence tu as la même capacité à transformer l’environnement que dans 10 à 100 jours de travail de force d’un être humain. Cette énergie est incroyablement peu chère [1,5 €] par rapport au gain qu’elle apporte.
"There is no green energy [...]. To choose a type of energy is to choose a type of transformation, with upsides and downsides."
"We have built a system only stable through expansion."
"A return to renewable energies, even sophisticated ones, will not allow us to maintain a complex, abundant society, with its healthcare system and culture, as we know it. Nuclear power will not be able to replace all fossil fuels. It is like a parachute. It will allow us to preserve only a portion of what we have today, and to cushion a fall that is too abrupt."
"The speed at which the system needs to be reformed is not compatible with maintaining individual freedom and the standard of living to which we are accustomed today."
