SUMMARY

1. A France without nuclear energy ? If we want we can

2. Stop nuclear in france, an utopia ?

3. Clean energy soon available

A France without nuclear energy ? IF WE WANT WE CAN !

01

By Catherine Green, Greenpeace's spokesperson

Many countries setting an example

Solar energy : United Arab Emirates, Masdar City. Hydroelectricity : Norway, Brazil, Canada The power of the wind : Norway sustainable city : BedZeD.

France, the nuclear world champion

• France, the largest share of electricity production from nuclear power

• The world first nuclear energy consuption per capita

• A lot of expensives infrastructures, built with decades of significant investment in research and engineering.

Renewable energy... really ?

• they aren’t endless, and no one knows the exploitable quantity

• an inescepable principle : to produce energy, we must empty the earth. No energy without ressources.

• The transformation of solar or kinetic energy into electricity, in solar panels or wind turbines requires a lot of “rare earth elements”

Rare earth elements reserve, in thousand of tons

• Unstable geopolitical context
• Countries with rare earth reserves, not our best friends
• A dangerous virtual monopoly
