While the use of nuclear energy is disappearing almost everywhere in the world, France is an exception. It persists in using and developing it in the name of a supposed independence, cultivating the myth of infinite growth incompatible with the ecological emergency. Director General of Agir pour l’environnement, Stéphen Kerckhove denounces the “jancovicisation of minds” and provides a reasoned response to the false evidence peddled by the defenders of nuclear power. Because no, nuclear power does not contribute to the country’s autonomy. No, it does not help combat global warming. No, it is neither cheap nor safe. Because yes, sobriety and renewable energies are one of the effective solutions to end our dependence on fossil fuels. This book is a plea for another energy model, which involves us all, individually and collectively.
