A pure coincidence but a study of the UFC Que Choisir seems to say precisely the opposite. Okay, for what it's worth, I think they're looking at more profitability for the user.
I do not have a definitive opinion on this subject but it interests me a lot. Being rural and made to make more than 30 000km / year the subject of the choice of the energy of the vehicle as much on the question of the environmental impact on my humble level as on the subject of the economic means is a real source of interrogation.
To put myself more in the overall subject, what worries me is what are really the strong collective choices to make in order to go in the right direction? Apart from finding that X or Y is not nice or that Capitalism is not good ...
I speak well of collective choice, on the level region, country to see (it is even obligatory) international.
If we have to get wet, I consider that if we are in
emergency situation then decarbonize implies among others and in the disorder:
- A substantial share of nuclear energy in our energy mix, at least over a horizon 20-40 years while waiting better (technological progress ...).
- A forced march development of RE that people want at home or not (wind etc etc)
- The establishment at the international level, between countries or groups of countries "initiators" of coercive standards and carbon prices, with customs taxes particularly dissuasive for countries that do not play the game (and that can hurt very badly) to developing countries).
- Reflection on a liberalization of the self-production and the self-consumption of the electricity, to see on the questions of reinjection on the network and of local use (Grid ...).
- Measures to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture
- Obviously, very ambitious energy saving programs and a priority support for all research going in the desired direction.
- .....
And other ways that I do not have in mind.
In any case, it would be coercive and we cannot completely hide behind the "smallness" of politicians or the weight of this or that lobby. When we see the outcry to go from 90 to 80 km / h on the roads, we say to ourselves that putting hard measures on carbon is going to be hot.
