Considering the combination of the concept of recycling with the world of energy immediately leads to the mountain that stands in front of us: the dismantling of the first nuclear power plants. At the risk of being provocative, I do not think this is the […]
I come back from several conferences where I listened to experts talking about the energy transition. I have been surprised by the conformism which they all showed in their speech: energy transition is a concept accepted by all. What is the energy transition? What are […]
