  • As France’s snap election campaign is in full swing, activists and scientists have raised their concerns about what a far-right National Rally victory could mean for the country’s climate and environment policy. France’s plans to expand renewable energy and move away from fossil fuels is under threat from Marine Le Pen’s nationalist party, which has vowed to scrap key environment policies, as FRANCE 24’s Environment Editor Valerie Dekimpe explains.

    Science is suppose to be apolitical, but obviously Science is politically driven...

      No it's just that some political groups on the right politicize environmentalism to the point where they dismiss the science and ignores climate change. The big oil companies are very pleased with that.

      Of course, especially when one side denies empirical realitu

      ​@@Nickers19 Well, that is the entire point of science to test empirical evidence...
      Empirical evidence alone does not define reality.
      So, when you say you have empirical evidence, that evidence is open to debate and scrutiny...
      Saying that reality is defined by empirical evidence is a reductionist fallacy...
      Not allowing an open debate of the empirical evidence is Dogmatism, intellectual intolerance etc...
      You just made the case that Climate Change proponents are creating a religion because that is what religion does :P

      Historically it is a very different mix, and as mentioned not even close per capita. But it is up to governments to fix the problem because we use the energy handed to us. I take a bus or train that is powered by fuel I don;t get to choose.

    Activist and scientist yeah okay! Nuclear is the only way to power these technological advancements you ain't going to power a grid with electric cars, and computer farms with wind mills. Also hydrogen cars are the cleanest self efficient way as of right now. Wind, and solar are great but you can't run a power grid on that alone, It needs to be diversified.

      Nuclear has the same issue as fossil fuels...
      A single reactor eats through 27 tonnes of uranium per year :P

      @@johnnybrave7443 Clean while producing, but still incredibly polluting to store later. Always been a problem, always will be. And much more expensive to build than renewables, thus more expensive energy.

      Having a diversified set of energy sources is a good thing. That includes hydro, solar, wind, nuclear and some others. None of them are the sole answer.

    Much from EU that is supposed to be good for the climate is not particulary good for the climate. It is just expensive, it destroys the economy and increases the unemployment. Practically functioning and cost effective solutions that are climate smart and make EU less dependent on oil countries e.g. import of low cost biofuel HVO and ethanol from North America is efficiently stopped by high customs (HVO) of 0.4 euro per litre, or stopped because it is made from crops (ethanol). EU is very hypocratic; Import of crude oil and crude oil based products is without customs… fossile crude oil products are much less good for the climate than HVO and ethanol from North America… other biofuels produced outside EU are also stopped from being imported to EU by bans, etc. And some major EU countries are also against climate smart nuclear power…
