Finished a World

To solve the problem of finite resources, it is not enough to reduce our consumption, this approach allows delaying the deadline which has been stalled. WE must plan a business organization that renews the stock of energy available to us. Read more .

Implementation of an energy strategy

The world is finite and our development there took more than a century exponentially. To drive this development was used free resources that nature put at our disposal. It turns out that our development is primarily to transform nature to improve the satisfaction of our basic needs and our comfort and our leisure. But what makes this transformation is energy.

To success in transition?

Technical solutions exist: one can love or hate, be of the opinion that they are practicable or dangerous, or they prefer them there,  but nobody can say that there are no methods to produce energy with low CO2 emissions. Read more .

Energy action plan

I started to write a book. I do not think a publisher will be interested and so it will remain a limited distribution to friends. However, I wish to upload the first part for energy. On this page you will find the presentation of the book and a link to download a PDF for the part that deals with energy. Read more .

Analysis of some controversial points

The Club of Rome report   

According to Jean Marc Jancovici 99% of people citing this report is not read. I did not read it either, but I read the presentation that made ??Jean Marc: This report is a scientist with the research that has been conducted Read more .

Le rapport peacking of world oil productionThe peaking of world oil production report  

This report  was edited on February 2005 and analyzes the measures to be taken to minimize the consequences of an oil shortage. The report shows that the possible measures require time to have a significant effect and that the scale of this time is the shortage in the short term. Read more .

report on the future of energy in Germany

The report from Mr. Claude and Pierre Acket BACHER proposes to present the main characteristics of German nuclear phase-out scenarios and limitation of emissions of greenhouse gases, in order to compare it with the scenario are saving the climate "négatep." Read more .

Politics, economy, energy and Europe

A political means to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas emissions is to implement tax optimization so that the expected market reduces such emissions as a result of the search for an economic advantage. Among the proposed taxes, the carbon tax is a kind of sitting on the VAT content "carbon" property taxed is the most often cited. Read more .

The validity of climate models

This is a sensitive issue because some polemicists professionals with the cast doubt fallacious arguments like "when we can not predict the weather next week, we can not predict the climate of the next century." Read more .

Lessons from paleoclimate

Observations have allowed us to reconstruct paleoclimate over a million years and the variation of the orbital parameters of the Earth that has been modelled by Milankovitch correctly explains the characteristics of the paleoclimate. Read more .

Climate and feedbacks

It is called negative if it opposes the change of this magnitude and positive if it amplifies it. A feedback loop is a device that connects effect to its own cause, with or without notice. Repetition of the reaction (reaction iterative) leads his continual amplification in the case of positive feedback, termination or non-progressive in case of negative feedback. Read more .

Hazards Industry

Among the issues to be addressed to choose the production sectors of energy, there is the consideration of hazards induced by this choice. We can not fully treat this subject but was collected elements that compare three disasters involving nuclear energy, chemical energy and chemical industry. Read more .

A moratorium on fossil electricity

Factories of death. Thus Mr Hansen refers to coal power plants. He advocates rightly a moratorium on their construction and phasing of those that do not include a device for capturing and storing carbon. Read more .

Use of Nuclear Energy

One approach to achieve zero CO2 emissions has been proposed , but this approach multiplies the use of nuclear energy which increases the problem of waste management. Our view is that we should not waste at all. Read more .

Nuclear energy available

The opponents of nuclear energy in general have arguments to show that in any case the nuclear energy available is limited as fossil fuels. Even if this were true, it would be still better to use nuclear energy does not produce greenhouse gases than fossil fuels that product. Read more .

Electrifying private vehicles

Assuming solved problems range of electric vehicles, what impact this would have on French capabilities to produce electricity? Read more .

Externalities of energy

What is the cost of different energies? This is a difficult and controversial. Yet everyone knows the price of energy it buys. The controversy focuses on the cost of externalities that seem poorly addressed by traditional accounting. We will examine the externalities of fossil fuels, wind energy, water power and nuclear energy. Read more

Rent Management in energy

From the point of view of oil companies' shortage is good news. In fact there is not just producing countries that are interested in a high oil price, usually oil companies share the profits with the producer countries. The percentage is less high but the principle remains. Read more .

Out of fossil and nuclear

On this site nuclear energy was favoured; other energy candidates mobilize a lot of space and are costly. But politically, it is possible to propose a project that is not optimal from the point of view of costs and social consequences if it is the will of the majority. Read more .

An economic approach to energy

Invariant economic

The relationship between the economy and energy deserve a lot of attention because energy is thereby transform the world. The economy, she does two things:

• Measure the results of human activitées
• Optimize the allocation of resources (including energy). Read more .

The cost of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels have allowed an increase in labor productivity through mechanization activities and the speed of movement they allow. This increased productivity leads to greater wealth in the country who can effectively implement energy in different production processes. Read more .

Utility or economic impact of oil

To show what is the real value of oil and therefore the price if it was fixed by the market without distortion, I propose to equate the services it renders the services of human labor. Read more .

Oil wars and economy

When resources are scarce and their price increases unprofitable uses are avoided. It is said that the market optimizes the use of scarce resources. But the price increase can seem unbearable when jobs were "ordinary" begin to be expensive. In this case the powerful is organizing to have a monopoly of use, by force if needed. At the country level it is called war. Read more .

The evolution of the economy with energy

In capitalist society, the work is considered a scarce and expensive resource. We are looking for labour-saving process that is to say, which increases productivity. This is done by using machines, that is to say by increasing the capital. Read more .

Recycle waste

The concept of waste it is representative of an objective reality or is it a reflection of our limitations in the use that is made ??of natural elements? Read more .

Some contributions to exit the fossil carbon

Fukushima mon amour

Here we go, here we go. For fifty years this storm threat in the blast furnaces of the carelessness of humanity, we are. In the wall, to the brink, as one man can do it with gusto, which perceives the reality when it hurts. Read more .

Electricity erasable

Consumption and therefore the production of electricity is variable over time: there are variations due to seasons and changes depending on the day of the week and time. Read more .

Energy for fixed structures

Transport accounts for about a quarter of the energy we consume. The consumer uses almost exclusively on fossil fuels and there are no simple solutions to significantly reduce the post of CO2. Therefore we should first address the fixed structures for which there is, for almost all purposes, an alternative for electricity that can be produced without emitting CO2. Residential and commercial heating seems to be a priority. Read more .

Maritime transport

Maritime transport has long been used as wind energy to propel boats. We will show that it is possible to return a technical point of view, if this energy scarcity of fossil fuels by increasing the price significantly. Read more .

The energy for mobility

Were grouped by the types of solutions that contribute to limit the consumption of liquid fuel for mobility. One might think that there are easier solutions in dealing with the uses of energy in fixed structures and therefore mobility comes only second priority. Read more .

Replace the fleet of cars

It is proposed to support the achievement of efficient vehicle by scrapping important and the announcement of a drastic increase in fuel prices. Read more .

The virtuous Emirate  

As an exercise to give an order of magnitude of cost and profitability is proposed to describe a project that aims to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere on a significant scale to demonstrate the feasibility of a return for the latter, the rate of pre-industrial CO2. It is therefore a demonstrator on which you can rely to extrapolate a real device capable of achieving the above objective. Read more .

Profitability of the project

The purpose of this page is to examine under what conditions the project in question could be profitable. This profitability depends on the depreciation of investments, the price of oil which can substitute the synthetic fuel product, the cost of operation of facilities, the enhancement of the oxygen produced, finance charges and possibly level a carbon tax. Read more .

Harnessing the wind Kerguelen

The archipelago, with an area of ??7215 km2, consists of a main island, surrounded by more than 300 islands. The main island has an area of ??6,675 km2 or 92% of the total area of ??the archipelago and extends about 150 km from west to east and 120 km north to south.
It is covered by the Cook ice cap covering an area of ??approximately 400 km2. Climate Kerguelen oceanic, cold and extremely windy. The west wind, no vegetation cutting, blowing almost continuously at an average of 35 km/h Read more .

Hybrid reactors

This type of reactor is not part of the 4th generation because it is considered as maturing after 2030. But there could come shortly after if you put a bit of priority. It is inherently safer because it is sub-critical and requires a separate source of neutrons to operate. Read more .

the reactor handheld

Until now we imagine the realization of hybrid reactor sub-critical. So these are reactors that contain significant amounts of fuel so that most of the neutrons are naturally produced by the fuel. We need a neutron generator to increase only a little quantity of neutrons produced naturally so that the reaction is self-sustaining. Read more .

The concept of ETSP

ETSP means Energy Transfer Station by Pumping. This is one of the few ways to store electrical energy in significant quantities and with good yields (up to 82%). There are two types of ETSP, one that we call "Earth" and the other "marine". Read more .

Energy concentrator photovoltaic

It is a technology that is easy to understand the interest: a problem of solar panels is that they are quite expensive and their production is not particularly green, even at that energy it must be consumed to produce them. Technology mirrors being much more classic, why not focus on the mirrors sun coming over a large area in a small size sensor? Read more .

Assessment of impacts of the proposed measures

What is proposed here is a quantitative approach in the case of France, to estimate the impacts of the proposed measures. To do this we use a tool available on the very attractive Mr. Prevot site  Read more .
