Media and politicians alike are spending more and more time on debating the question of energy. It affects a wide variety of fields, like climate change, "end of oil", transport, carbon tax, wind turbines, nuclear energy, everyday life, etc. These issues are raised in France and throughout the world, in a context of major inequalities between countries in accessing energy and very serious uncertainties. They give rise to major controversies and the 2050 goal of dividing our greenhouse gas emissions by four is going to occupy political and economic players for several decades. This book emphasises that problems should be addressed in concrete fashion, taking into account requirements and resources based on local situations and needs. A single solution does not exist as the energies complement each other. The author is addressing a wide, cultivated audience and provides information on the energies, their place in modern societies and the problems they raise for the future. It pricks the reader's curiosity and urges him to resist simplistic arguments, media pressure and publicity. He will thus learn to act as an enlightened citizen not giving way to irrational fears.
