The energy betrayal. The 'Energie Wende' skids off the track
Description
In a first article, the author criticizes the French programming bill for a new energy model. He states that this text does not comply with initially defined objectives by emphasizing renewable energies and by ignoring or reducing the critical role of nuclear energy in this transition. In two appendices, the author adds his own comments in the programming bill text and in a text defining energy transition and identifying the main associated leverages. A second article outlines the failure of the German energy policy (Energie Wende) which resulted in very costly supports to the photovoltaic and wind energy sectors in comparison with their actual energy production, but also resulted in an increase of greenhouse gas emissions during the last three years. The author outlines how the German example should inspire the French policy, but notices that it doesn't. In appendix, the author publishes e-mails he exchanged about this issue with an elected ecologist and with a representative of the French-German Office for renewable energies
