ER Editor: France relies on energy production via nuclear reactors, so this is certainly welcome news.

French Legislation Weakens Clean Energy Commitments And Favors Nuclear
Cheers to France if pending legislation passes as currently written. It effectively scraps most hard commitments and turns more towards nuclear power…
Preliminary Bill relating to Energy Sovereignty
Please consider a Google translation of a Preliminary Bill relating to Energy Sovereignty
Four Key Things
- The wording of this preliminary bill relating to energy sovereignty is of course not final. It can still evolve between now and its presentation to the Council of Ministers and, then, during its discussion in Parliament. However, it already demonstrates a significant change in the executive’s conception of national energy policy.
- This draft bill weakens France’s climate objectives, starting with the objective of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. The objective would no longer be to “reduce” but to tend towards a reduction in “our greenhouse gas emissions.
- This preliminary draft proposes to translate into law the executive’s choice to maintain a preponderant share of nuclear energy in electricity production. A choice which breaks with that of reducing this share of nuclear power and which was included in law no. 2015-992 of August 17, 2015 relating to the energy transition for green growth.
- This preliminary bill also reflects concern, on the eve of the European elections in June 2024; to abandon the legal category of renewable energies” in favor of a new category, that of “carbon-free energies”.
Removals
- The removal of quantified objectives for production and consumption of renewable energies in mainland France.
- The removal of the objective of encouraging the production of hydraulic energy.
- The removal of the quantified objective for the development of offshore wind power.
- The removal of the objective of encouraging the production of agrivoltaic electricity.
- The removal of the contribution objective to achieving air pollution reduction objectives.
- The removal of the building’s energy performance objective.
- The removal of the multiplication objective of the quantity of renewable and recovery heat and cold.
- Removal of the condition for shutting down the operation of a nuclear reactor
New Objectives
-
The affirmation of the “sustainable choice of using nuclear energy”
-
The new objective of using nuclear energy in the multi-annual energy program
Wow!
How often does France lead the way in common sense?
This has not passed yet, but it represents a clear change in direction if any of it passes, and that seems highly likely.
I wonder if President Emmanuel Macron is starting to look at French polls. Then again, the next French presidential election is not until 2027.
In the US, Biden doubles down on the only tactic he knows, running on Bidenomics while claiming Trump will be a dictator if he wins.
Both are losing tactics.
Why Biden’s Approval Rating Is Miserable
Income is rising and so are wages. Even real income is up. But real wages are another matter.
I explain Why Biden’s Approval Rating Is Miserable in One Economic Chart
Personal income data from the BEA, hourly wages from the BLS, real hourly earnings and chart by Mish.
Also note the third and largest round of fiscal stimulus was in March of 2021. That’s when Biden’s popularity peaked at 55.1 percent.

Regardless of why, it appears Macron is on the verge of doing something right. If so, cheers to France.

Rapport d’alerte – Ingérence des fondations politiques allemandes et sabotage de la filière nucléaire française

Ecole de Guerre Economique
22 Juin’23
Il n’est plus possible de laisser de côté les sujets qui fâchent à propos de l’Europe. L’École de Guerre Économique avait déjà publié en mai 2021 un dossier « J’attaque ! » intitulé Comment l’Allemagne tente d’affaiblir durablement la France sur la question de l’énergie. Il s’agissait alors de formaliser une grille de lecture intégrant tous les paramètres sur le cheminement stratégique de l’Allemagne (contradictions politiques, pression extérieure russe, choix énergétiques pour élaborer une stratégie industrielle, les manœuvres de diplomatie publique du gouvernement fédéral, les jeux d’influence au niveau de l’Union Européenne, les enjeux de la production de connaissances directe et indirecte). Ce dossier offensif « J’attaque ! » a précédé le débat public sur l’importance de l’énergie nucléaire pour la résilience énergétique de notre pays.
En juin 2023, dans le cadre des exercices menés par les étudiants de la formation “SIE Stratégie et Intelligence Economique”, l’EGE publie cette fois-ci un rapport d’alerte qui approfondit l’étude des techniques d’influence mises en œuvre par des fondations allemandes gérées par des écologistes et des militants d’extrême gauche. Ces acteurs de la société civile allemande poursuivent le travail de sape informationnel entamé outre-Rhin depuis des années.
Il nous a semblé utile d’analyser les rouages d’une telle démarche qui affiche sa légitimité de prise de parole à travers des valeurs d’humanisme mais qui en réalité s’inscrit dans une politique discrète d’accroissement de puissance de l’Allemagne.

Other bit of the puzzle on mainstream sh*t paper :

@mormach
Le vrai scandale il est là !
Nous exportons de l’électricité partout en Europe grace à nos centrales nucléaires… et nous vendons ce courant entre 0 et 50€ le mégaWatt aux pays qu’il l’achètent !
Alors pourquoi le revendre aussi cher aux particuliers ???

Thanks for this, Brigitte
Oh but wait !
Don’t believe the infortunate readings of the french situation made by foreign journalists who have no clue ! >”la France va céder à l’UE et ouvrir la voie à la privatisation de ses barrages, comme l’exige la Commission européenne”
Florian Philippot
@f_philippot
Alerte ! La ministre en charge de l’énergie Pannier-Runacher vient de cracher le morceau : la France va céder à l’UE et ouvrir la voie à la privatisation de ses barrages, comme l’exige la Commission européenne depuis des années !
En effet, selon l’avant-projet de loi sur la « souveraineté énergétique » diffusé par le ministère, le gouvernement macroniste serait habilité à prendre par ordonnances les dispositions législatives nécessaires à « la mise en conformité au droit européen du régime des concessions hydroélectriques » !
(cf : https://bfmtv.com/economie/entreprises/energie/la-france-veut-regler-son-contentieux-avec-l-ue-sur-l-hydroelectricite_AV-202401080553.html
)
➡️ L’UE + Macronie = destruction et trahison de la France !
Gardons nos barrages publics, ré-investissons et quittons l’UE au plus vite !
