Huge drop of electricity demand in Spain, total blackout for 3h now. The discrepancy between actual and forecasted demand is terrifying.

Je réalise aujourd’hui que RTE faisait l’hypothèse d’un nucleaire à 5000€/kW dans son BP 2050 de 2022, alors que la littérature donne aujourd’hui entre 8000-15000€/kW en occident et que les EPR2 sont annoncés à 10000€/kW.
À quel point les conclusions sont robustes à ce niveau d’erreur ?

De nombreux régimes autoritaires assoient leur pouvoir sur l'exploitation de ressources naturelles: on parle de malédiction des ressources.
Ainsi, adopter des stratégies collectives et individuelles de sobriété réduirait notre dépendance à ces régimes.

TRIBUNE - Le contexte international actuel est façonné par de grandes puissances dont la stratégie économique est tournée vers l’exportation de ressources naturelles. Une stratégie de domination face à laquelle Philippe Delacote prône la sobriété.

Fresh from the press!
What is #flexibility in today's electricity systems?
Where is it traded?
What resources can we use to deliver it?
What does the latest EU reform say about it?

Worrying
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

The US still lagging behind when it comes to grid investment.

All Texans connected to the state grid will now pay for the generators rather than just CenterPoint customers.
