Government, businesses, local authorities and individuals have to change their energetic habits urgently. But, what should be tackled first to reach this goal ? Theoretical figures are sometimes quite far from reality.  Sciences et Avenir-La Recherche has compiled the most recent reference studies in order to point the most effective actions.

The gap in the ozone layer could be absorbed within four decades, this is what scientists have declared . But yet, some solar geo-engineering projects could bring around adverse side effects ; these projects are developed to reduce global warming by modifying deliberately the atmospherés composition.

Administrative procedures reduced, solar panels installed along motorways and on parking sites, massive development of wind power off shore : the new bill on the acceleration of the development of renewable energies ought to allow France to catch up on her delay.
