C'est un avertissement sévère adressé à EDF. L'Autorité environnementale, organisme indépendant chargé d'évaluer les grands projets, vient de publier un avis accablant sur les deux futurs réacteurs EPR2 de Penly, en Seine-Maritime. Dans son rapport du 15 octobre, elle estime que plusieurs volets du dossier comportent encore des zones d'ombre majeures, notamment en matière de risques climatiques, sanitaires et écologiques. L'Autorité souligne d'abord une insuffisante prise en compte du dérèglement climatique. Selon ses experts, EDF n'a pas suffisamment intégré dans sa conception les menaces liées à la montée du niveau de la mer, aux tempêtes plus violentes ou encore au risque de submersion du site. Des aléas pourtant essentiels pour une installation nucléaire située sur le littoral normand.Autre point d'inquiétude : les rejets en mer de substances toxiques ou cancérigènes. Le rapport estime que leurs effets cumulés sur la faune, la flore et la santé humaine n'ont pas été correctement évalués « à l'échelle de la centrale ». En clair, impossible pour l'instant d'affirmer que le projet respecte pleinement la réglementation environnementale. L'avis épingle aussi la destruction d'habitats marins sensibles, jugée non compensée à la hauteur des impacts. L'Autorité regrette enfin le manque de transparence d'EDF : certaines pièces relatives à la sûreté nucléaire ont été exclues de l'analyse pour des raisons de sécurité, une restriction que l'instance juge « excessive ».Autre omission pointée : aucune précision claire sur les montants prévus pour le démantèlement des réacteurs, la gestion des déchets ou la remise en état du site. Des lacunes financières préoccupantes pour un chantier d'une telle ampleur. Interrogé par l'AFP, EDF se veut rassurant. Le groupe assure que « la protection de l'environnement est une priorité » et que le changement climatique est bien intégré à la conception des EPR2. L'entreprise promet de répondre point par point à ces critiques lors de l'enquête publique prévue en 2026. Mais pour l'heure, l'Autorité environnementale tire la sonnette d'alarme : impossible de garantir que le futur chantier de Penly n'aura pas d'impact significatif sur la santé et l'environnement.

C'était il y a 20 ans jour pour jour, le 27 octobre 2005, un jeudi de vacances scolaires en fin d'après-midi à Clichy sous Bois… Deux adolescents qui rentrent d'un match de foot, Zyed BENNA, 17 ans et Bouna TRAORÉ, 15 ans, meurent électrocutés dans un transformateur EDF après avoir voulu échapper à un contrôle de police… Le début d'un embrasement des quartiers populaires, 3 semaines de violences urbaines, l'état d'urgence décrété et l'accélération d'un tournant sécuritaire incarné par le ministre de l'intérieur de l'époque, Nicolas SARKOZY, qui voudra “nettoyer au Kärcher” les banlieues françaises… Vingt ans plus tard, quelle est l'empreinte laissée par la mort des deux adolescents sur la société française ?

Your host, Alan Hall, shares the renewable industry news you may have missed. Allen Hall 2025: There is news today from three continents about wind power in Germany. Last Friday, the wind began to blow storm Benjamins swed across the northern regions. Wind turbines spun faster and faster. By mid-morning wind output hit 51 gigawatts. That's right. 51 gigawatts the highest. Since early last year, wind and solar together met nearly all of Germany's electricity needs, and then something happened that would have seemed impossible. 20 years ago, the price of electricity went negative. Minus seven euros and 15 cents per megawatt hour. Too much wind, too much power, not enough demand. Meanwhile, off the coast of Southern [00:01:00] France, dignitaries gathered for a celebration. The Provenance Grand Large floating offshore wind farm. 25 megawatts. Three Siemens Gamesa turbines mounted on floating platforms. France's first floating offshore wind project. a real milestone, but here is what caught everyone's attention. No government subsidies. EDF, Enbridge and CPP investments. Finance the entire project themselves. Self-finance, offshore wind in France. Halfway around the world in South Australia, Neoen inaugurated Goyder South. 412 megawatts, 75 turbines, the largest wind farm in the state, the largest in Neoen portfolio. It will generate 1.5 TERAWATT hours annually. That's a 20% increase in South Australia's total wind generation.[00:02:00] The state is racing towards 100% net renewables by 2027. Goyder South created 400 construction jobs, 12 permanent positions, over 100 million Australian dollars in local economic impact. Three different stories, three different continents, Europe, Asia Pacific, all celebrating wind power. But there is something else connecting these projects. Something the general public does not see something only industry professionals understand. 20 years ago, wind energy was expensive, subsidized, and uncertain . Critics called it a fantasy that would never compete with coal or natural gas. Today, Germany has so much wind power that prices go negative. France builds offshore wind farms without government money. Australia bets its entire energy future on renewables, and here is the number that tells the real [00:03:00] story. In 2005, global wind power capacity was 59 gigawatts. Today it exceeds 1000 gigawatts the cost per megawatt hour. It has dropped about 85%. Wind power went from the most expensive electricity source to one of the cheapest in about two decades faster than pretty much anyone had predicted, cheaper than anyone had really forecasted. the critics said it could not be done, and the skeptics said it would never compete. The doubters said it was decades away, and they were pretty much all wrong. Today France celebrates its first commercial scale floating offshore wind farm. And Germany's grid operator manages negative prices as routine Australia plans to run an entire state on renewable energy. Within about two years, the impossible became inevitable, and you, the wind energy professionals listening to this, you [00:04:00] made it happen.

L'émission 28 minutes du 27/07/2025 Ce thriller écologique nous plonge dans le monde foisonnant des océans À la fois auteur et enseignant en littérature comparée à l'université Paris 8, Vincent Message, publie "La Folie Océan" aux éditions du Seuil. L'écrivain, accoutumé à aborder des sujets de société complexes (capitalisme, écologie) par le biais de la fiction, se jette, une nouvelle fois, dans l'immense océan de la crise écologique actuelle. Ce roman contemporain mêlant la double vie amoureuse de Maya, biologiste spécialisée dans le plancton, et de son amant, Quentin, plongeur pour une réserve naturelle, devient un thriller lorsque l'activisme de Quentin lui vaut des menaces de mort. Il est notre invité de ce soir. 20 ans après la mort de Zyed et Bouna, la banlieue est-elle toujours en état d'urgence ?Il y a 20 ans, le 27 octobre 2005, Zyed Benna, 17 ans, et Bouna Traoré, 15 ans, sont morts électrocutés dans un transformateur EDF alors qu'ils cherchaient à fuir un contrôle de police à Clichy-sous-Bois. Leur ami, Muhittin, 17 ans, gravement brûlé, a survécu et a été le premier à alerter sur ce qui s'est passé avant que les secours n'arrivent Le soir même, la ville de Clichy est le théâtre d'émeutes urbaines, avant d'être suivie par d'autres villes dans le pays. Une tragédie qui a enflammé les banlieues françaises et le pays. 20 ans après, jour pour jour, après la mort de Zyed et Bouna, une cérémonie d'hommage a été organisée ce lundi midi à Clichy-sous-Bois, près de la stèle située devant le collège Robert Doisneau où ils étaient scolarisés.

C'était il y a 20 ans à Clichy-sous-Bois en banlieue parisienne. Le 27 octobre 2005, Zyed Benna, 17 ans, et Bouna Traoré, 15 ans, mouraient électrocutés après avoir été pourchassés par la police. Les adolescents s'étaient réfugiés dans un transformateur EDF pour tenter d'échapper à un contrôle d'identité. Le drame avait déclenché 21 nuits d'affrontements entre jeunes et forces de l'ordre en banlieue parisienne d'abord, puis partout en France. Des révoltes qui ont permis aux habitants de ces quartiers populaires de montrer les discriminations qu'ils vivaient au quotidien, sur le plan social, mais aussi géographique. 20 ans plus tard, RFI est retourné à Clichy-sous-Bois. Si les infrastructures de la ville se développent (le métro y fera d'ailleurs son arrivée en 2027), le poids de l'histoire tragique de Zyed et Bouna pèse toujours sur les Clichois. Depuis 2019, c'est un peu plus facile d'aller et venir à Clichy-sous-Bois, même si, à 15 kilomètres seulement de Paris, la ville reste mal desservie par les transports en commun. C'est ici que Mehdi Bigaderne a grandi. Il avait 23 ans en 2005 : « J'étais à l'université de Saint-Denis, je mettais trois heures, alors peut-être qu'on met un peu moins, je ne sais pas, aujourd'hui, mais on met quand même beaucoup de temps et, effectivement, on ne part pas de la même ligne de départ, ça, c'est certain. Et cette question des discriminations, elle n'est pas vraiment prise au sérieux. » Ce tramway, le T4, avait pourtant été annoncé en personne par le président Jacques Chirac dès 2006, au lendemain des violences urbaines, nées ici, dans un quartier fragile, mais tranquille, qui s'est brutalement retrouvé sous le feu des projecteurs : « Je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier, parce que c'est tellement marquant. Je suis un enfant de la ville et c'est la première fois que je voyais la ville dans cet état-là, avec des brigades de CRS pratiquement dans chaque immeuble. Et puis, après, on a vu arriver un hélicoptère – moi, j'avais l'impression d'être à Bagdad, à un moment donné – qui tournait autour des immeubles avec un projecteur, qui était pénétrant dans les appartements, déjà qu'ils n'étaient pas très grands… » À écouter aussiBanlieues 2005 : retour à Clichy-sous-Bois La mort de Zyed et Bouna a laissé des cicatrices profondes dans le quartier À l'époque, l'ampleur de la réponse sécuritaire choque les habitants qui pleuraient deux enfants du quartier : Zyed Benna, 17 ans, et Bouna Traoré, 15 ans. Ce qui n'arrange rien au rapport fragile entre police et population… Olivier Klein, maire actuel, était adjoint à la jeunesse et à la ville il y a 20 ans : « Quand les maires de l'époque ont vu le président de la République, il a demandé quelles seraient les urgences. Les deux maires, ensemble, ont dit : "Il nous faut un tramway – une des raisons de la popularisation, c'est l'enclavement, le temps pour aller bosser, le temps pour aller étudier, etcetera –, et on a besoin d'avoir un commissariat de plein exercice – pour que la police puisse être comme un poisson dans l'eau dans nos quartiers". » À lire aussiFrance: il y a 20 ans, la mort de Zyed Benna et Bouna Traoré à Clichy-sous-Bois Les discriminations, un enjeu majeur En 2012, un commissariat sort de terre à Clichy. Les cicatrices sont encore bien visibles, mais d'après Mehdi Bigaderne, qui a cofondé l'association ACLEFEU pour faire remonter la parole des quartiers populaires auprès des institutions, constate que les choses changent petit à petit : « Les commissaires qui ont dirigé ce commissariat étaient ouverts à travailler avec les associations, donc on voyait qu'il y avait une volonté de se dire, s'il y a des incidents, on peut s'en parler… En revanche, je pense qu'ils sont limités parce que, je ne crois pas me tromper en disant ça, c'est qu'on a aussi un problème qui est plutôt général. Moi, je suis content de pas avoir revécu un tel drame sur la ville, mais il y en a eu d'autres malheureusement, et il faut que l'État prenne à bras-le-corps ce sujet-là qui, aujourd'hui, peut être un fonds de commerce pour certains politiques. » En 20 ans, les visages enfantins de Zyed et Bouna ont été rejoints par des dizaines de sourires similaires dans les marches blanches. D'après le média Basta!, le nombre de décès annuels imputables aux forces de l'ordre françaises a doublé depuis les années 2000.

durée : 00:19:37 - L'invité de 8h20 - C'était il y a 20 ans : trois semaines de violence après la mort des adolescents. Coursés par des policiers, Bouna Traoré, 15 ans, et Zyed Benna, 17 ans, se cachèrent dans un site EDF et y furent électrocutés. Ces décès ont déclenché une vague d'émeutes entrée dans l'Histoire.

Sponsored by: EDF power solutions -- Info@EDF-re.comOne of the hottest topics these days -- not just in the energy sector, but across the entire economy -- is the anticipated energy demand from AI data centers. In an effort to separate the signal from the noise, Jeffrey Jakubiak, a partner at Vinson & Elkins, stops by the show to share his insights on the specific load demands AI data centers place on the grid. Perhaps most importantly, Jeffrey also discusses whether or not the US will be able to overcome a smorgasbord of challenges in order to build out enough generation capacity to meet that demand. One tactic many big tech firms are embracing is colocation. Amid the new 'Bring Your Own Power' (BYOP) environment, Jeffrey and I ponder one possible long-term impact on the grid: Will data centers become power centers?Sign up for the Renewable Energy SmartBrief

Y'all, I'm feeling like a million bucks sharing this conversation with you that I got to have with Amanda Leland, Executive Director of the Environmental Defense Fund... I'm still pinching myself! Amanda became a member of the EDF when she was 13, so she's been training to be Executive Director for a few years!Amanda just published Sea Change: Unlikely Allies and a Success Story of Oceanic Proportions, with James Workman - it published September 30! It tells the story of how fishermen, scientists, and environmentalists set aside their distrust and their differences to forge an unlikely alliance to help solve the overfishing crisis in our oceans. It was exciting to hear her talk about it!Amanda has Maine ties, growing up in Massachusetts and visiting every summer. She has a Masters Degree in Marine Biology from UMaine, and has a very different Maine experience than I've had, so you know I loved hearing about it... She also worked as a marine mammal zookeeper!I asked Amanda to talk about what EDF does, too: they are a global nonprofit organization tackling climate change — the greatest challenge of our time. Their bold, game-changing solutions are people centered. Their goals are stabilizing the climate, strengthening people and nature's ability to thrive, and supporting peoples' health - very important work!Learn more about EDF here: https://www.edf.org/You can learn more about Sea Change here: https://prbythebook.com/experts/james-workman-and-amanda-leland/EDF on Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/environmental_defense_fundAmanda's own Instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/avleland/On Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/EnvDefenseFundTikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@envdefensefundSend me a message!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

Jeunes Pousses : le rendez-vous de l'innovation positive et à impact
À l'heure où les défis énergétiques deviennent de plus en plus complexes, l'innovation ne peut plus se concevoir seul mais ensemble !
In today's episode we take a close look at the investor's perspective on the UK's infrastructure market — and, in particular, what the landmark Final Investment Decision on the new Sizewell C nuclear power station tells us about the appetite, the risks, and the rewards for long-term private capital.Because, following completion of the deal last month, for the first time, the British public will be co-owners of a nuclear power station, sitting alongside a powerful mix of investors including EDF, Centrica, La Caisse, and Amber Infrastructure. And as such I am pleased to be joined today by Jamie Hossain, Senior Investment Director at Amber Infrastructure and lead portfolio manager at International Public Partnerships (INPP), who has been leading their latest 7.6% investment in Sizewell C. Amber is the the specialist international investment manager and investment adviser to infrastructure investment company International Public Partnerships Limited (INPP). As such he gives us his first hand perspective on the deal, what it means for UK infrastructure – and perhaps what is in his future pipeline. Sizewell C is one of the most significant new energy projects in a generation — a £38 billion nuclear power station in Suffolk that will be a twin of the Hinkley Point C station now under construction in Somerset and provide reliable, low-carbon electricity for six million homes. It's also a project that signals a new era for infrastructure investment in the UK. Final Investment Decision is significant. Some 70 per cent of construction spend is expected to flow to British businesses, with tens of thousands of jobs created, and £2 billion a year in savings to the electricity system. So it's a project that demonstrates how public and private capital can work hand-in-hand to deliver national benefit.But what does this mean from the investor's perspective? How are infrastructure investor's like Amber assessing opportunity and risk and what models offer the right balance of stability, flexibility, and return for future projects?ResourcesAmber Infrastructure GroupINPP's Sizewell C investor presentationINPP's most recent investor factsheet INPP's annual reportAll about the RAB modelSome INPP case studies An overview of INPP's portfolioThe Australian Cobberdog
Entre la qualification de l'Algérie à la Coupe du Monde 2026, l'Italie deuxième de son groupe peut-elle rater la Coupe du Monde comme la Suède, Aubameyang auteur d'un quadruplé avec le Gabon, a-t-il réalisé le plus beau match de sa carrière internationale ? La Belgique de Rudi Garcia est-elle cuite ?
A huit mois du début du Mondial aux USA cet été, Jean Philippe Mateta a été appelé pour la première fois à 28 ans en sélection par Didier Deschamps. Avant la double confrontation contre l'Azerbaïdjan et l'Islande, comptant pour la qualification à la Coupe du Monde 2026, Mateta rejoint un autre avant-centre, Hugo Ekitike, recruté par Liverpool cet été à Francfort moyennant 95M€. Derrière Kylian Mbappé, indétrônable dans l'axe, tant que Dembélé n'est pas envisagé par Deschamps dans ce secteur, Mateta et Ekitike ont-ils une carte à jouer sur ce rassemblement ? Avec les absences de Dembélé, Doué, Barcola, Thuram, Cherki et Kolo Muani, peuvent-ils imposer leur profil différent et s'inviter dans la liste définitive ? Aussi, le WFC revient sur la décision de la Liga de délocaliser le match de la 17e journée entre Villarreal et le FC Barcelone à Miami, le 20 décembre prochain au Hard Rock Stadium. Une décision validée par l'UEFA et qui créé un tollé ! Cette tendance aux délocalisations peut-elle devenir une constante dans le foot moderne ? Les joueurs doivent-ils monter au créneau et s'y opposer ?
We form a lot of different kinds of relationships in our careers. Some are transactional, and others are more personal. Drew Wilkinson, founder of the Climate Leadership Collective, makes the case that understanding the various natures of these relationships – and fostering as many as possible – can help both individuals and the planet. After working his way from musician to the leader of Microsoft's employee sustainability community, Drew now works as a consultant.

What can you do when you know you want a job in sustainability, but have no idea how to get there? When Nidhi Kaul graduated college, the pathway to her ideal career felt murky. Unsure of how to find the right job, she spent several years in consulting, developing skills and learning her strengths. After finding her way to a job in product management at LinkedIn, she joined an internal group at the company dedicated to sustainability. Her connection with that group ended up leading to her dream opportunity: now she is the Green Economy Lead at LinkedIn, and her whole job is helping others find green gigs. Along the way, Nidhi learned that conversations with others about their own pathways to green jobs can yield rich wisdom – and give a confidence boost.Resources: Follow Nidhi Kaul on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nidhikaul/LinkedIn Sustainability Resource Hub: https://socialimpact.linkedin.com/sustainability-hubDrew Wilkinson's LinkedIn Learning course: Employee Engagement: Making Sustainability Part of Everybody's Job https://www.linkedin.com/learning/employee-engagement-making-sustainability-part-of-everybody-s-job Related episodes: If you liked this episode, you'll love these related Degrees episodes:How to green any job with Project Drawdown's Jamie Beck AlexanderHow to get a job investing millions in planet-saving techJob hunting?

Et si la fiction permettait de mieux comprendre les enjeux du monde réel ? C'est le pari du recueil Haute Tension, une œuvre collective de science-fiction qui propose neuf récits se déroulant dans un monde post-transition énergétique. EDF a collaboré à ce projet éditorial en apportant son expertise en innovation et en prospectiveEn partenariat avec EDFDans cet épisode, Julien Villeret, directeur de l'innovation d'EDF, raconte comment est née cette initiative inédite mêlant rigueur scientifique et imagination littéraire. Une autre manière de penser l'avenir de l'énergie, de l'hydrogène blanc à la fusion nucléaire, en passant par la souveraineté énergétique ou les ambitions dévorantes des géants du numérique.
Fin août, l'ex-premier ministre François Bayrou lâchait une bombe budgétaire : la charge de la dette est devenue le premier poste de dépense de l'État français, devant l'éducation et la défense. Avec 66 milliards d'euros d'intérêts annuels et une dette par habitant qui frôle les 50 000 euros, les finances publiques apparaissent plus fragiles que jamais.Pour mesurer concrètement cette dérive, un outil citoyen fait beaucoup parler de lui : l'Horloge de la Dette publique. Derrière ce site gratuit, une start-up française, Living Republic, qui a imaginé un compteur géant affichant en temps réel la dette nationale. Et les chiffres donnent le vertige : plus de 3 410 milliards d'euros défilent sans interruption, l'équivalent de 49 633 euros par Français, nourrissons compris.Au-delà de l'effet visuel, la plateforme propose des indicateurs détaillés : ratio dette/PIB de 115,5 %, déficit 2025 estimé à 92,5 milliards, charges d'intérêts de 44 milliards. Des données mises à jour à la seconde, qui rendent palpable une réalité économique souvent dissimulée derrière les discours politiques. Chaque tic du compteur symbolise l'enfoncement du pays dans le rouge, donnant un poids psychologique à cette spirale financière. Le site va plus loin en détaillant la dette des grands services publics : 50 milliards pour EDF, 30,1 milliards pour les hôpitaux, près de 24 milliards pour SNCF Réseau. Autant de montants qui s'additionnent à la dette souveraine, rappelant que le problème dépasse largement le seul budget de l'État.Dans ce contexte tendu, François Bayrou a annoncé qu'il demanderait un vote de confiance le 8 septembre. Les marchés n'ont pas tardé à réagir : le CAC40 a chuté de 1,59 % le soir même, bien davantage que les autres places européennes. Un signe clair de l'inquiétude des investisseurs, alors qu'une éventuelle chute du gouvernement n'est pas à exclure. Avec son compteur en ligne, l'Horloge de la Dette publique offre une leçon de transparence démocratique. Elle sort les chiffres des rapports poussiéreux pour les projeter sous les yeux de tous, à l'heure où le pays s'interroge sur les efforts à venir et sur l'avenir même de son exécutif.

Comment est distribuée l’énergie électrique en Indre-et-Loire ? Par le réseau d’infrastructures EDF, me répondrez-vous. Eh bien, non, ce n’est pas si simple. Dans le département, les réseaux de distribution appartiennent aux collectivités locales, dont la gestion est déléguée à Enedis, filiale d’EDF.

La retraite progressive est un dispositif pensé pour adoucir le passage entre la vie active et la retraite complète. Plutôt que de quitter son emploi du jour au lendemain, un salarié peut réduire progressivement son temps de travail tout en commençant à percevoir une partie de sa pension. Ce système permet ainsi de combiner salaire et pension, offrant une transition plus souple vers l'inactivité totale.Un principe simpleConcrètement, le salarié passe d'un emploi à temps plein à une activité réduite : 80 %, 60 % ou parfois même 50 % de son temps habituel. En parallèle, il touche une fraction de sa retraite calculée proportionnellement. Cette organisation permet non seulement de conserver un revenu global correct, mais aussi de continuer à cotiser, ce qui améliore le montant de la pension définitive une fois la retraite complète liquidée.Pour qui ?À l'origine, la retraite progressive concernait surtout les salariés du secteur privé. Désormais, depuis la réforme entrée en vigueur le 1er septembre 2023, son champ d'application s'est élargi. Les agents de la fonction publique – qu'ils soient d'État, territoriaux ou hospitaliers – peuvent en bénéficier, tout comme les agents des régimes spéciaux (SNCF, RATP, EDF). Les professions libérales y ont aussi accès : médecins, avocats, experts-comptables ou architectes peuvent désormais adapter leur activité à temps partiel tout en recevant une pension partielle. Même les cadres au forfait jours sont inclus. En somme, une grande partie des actifs peut envisager cette formule.Les avantages du dispositifL'un des principaux atouts est la continuité des cotisations. Même en travaillant à mi-temps, les trimestres validés comptent pour la retraite finale. Certains choisissent même l'option de « surcotisation » : ils cotisent comme s'ils étaient encore à temps plein, ce qui permet d'augmenter le montant futur de leur pension, au prix bien sûr d'un effort financier immédiat.Autre intérêt : la souplesse dans l'organisation du travail. Il est possible de choisir des demi-journées, un rythme allégé ou une répartition adaptée aux contraintes personnelles. Pour les employeurs, ce dispositif peut faciliter la transmission progressive des responsabilités, notamment dans les petites structures ou les métiers de savoir-faire.Durée et recalcul de la pensionLa retraite progressive n'est pas illimitée : elle dure en principe jusqu'à deux ans, selon le régime de retraite et le taux de temps partiel choisi. À l'issue de cette période, le salarié doit soit reprendre un emploi à temps plein, soit liquider sa retraite définitive. Dans tous les cas, un recalcul intervient : les droits acquis pendant la période de travail partiel sont intégrés et viennent s'ajouter aux droits antérieurs.Une transition plus douceAu-delà des aspects techniques, la retraite progressive répond à une demande sociale : ne pas vivre la fin de carrière comme une rupture brutale. Elle constitue un outil précieux pour les salariés dont les métiers sont exigeants physiquement ou psychologiquement, mais aussi pour ceux qui souhaitent préparer sereinement leur nouvelle vie.

Affordable energy overall, and that they will wind up harming the American people. EDF is standing up and fighting the Trump administration in court every single day. We believe, based on the facts and the law, that we have very good cases and expect to see more wins than not. When the government sets aside all of the things they need to do to land appropriately and just say, "We don't care. This is what Donald Trump wants," there is recourse to step in, intervene, and challenge that. They were sloppy the first time he was president. They're even more brazen now.”David Kieve has been on the front lines of some of the most critical environmental debates of our time.

C dans l'air l'invité du 14 août 2025 avec Ludovic Dupin, directeur de l'information de la Société française d'énergie nucléaire (Sfen)Gravelines, la plus grande centrale nucléaire d'Europe de l'Ouest, a été stoppée par un phénomène naturel inattendu. Dans la nuit du dimanche 10 au lundi 11 août, quatre réacteurs se sont automatiquement mis à l'arrêt après la découverte d'un banc de méduses dans les filtres des stations de pompage qui aspirent l'eau de mer pour le refroidissement. EDF assure qu'aucun impact n'a été constaté sur la sûreté des installations, la sécurité du personnel ou l'environnement. La centrale reprend progressivement son activité.En pleine canicule, plusieurs centrales doivent limiter leur production pour respecter la réglementation sur les rejets thermiques et faire face aux fortes chaleurs. Au Bugey, sur le Rhône, et à Golfech, sur la Garonne, où l'eau frôle les 28 °C, la production est réduite ou suspendue. EDF a prolongé l'arrêt d'un réacteur du Bugey alors que les températures approchaient les 40 °C dans le Sud-Est. Ces épisodes illustrent la vulnérabilité des centrales françaises face au réchauffement climatique, même si certaines installations situées dans des régions très chaudes, comme aux Émirats arabes unis ou à Phoenix, fonctionnent sans entrave.La consommation d'électricité baisse en été, mais le recours accru à la climatisation alourdit la demande et soulève des critiques sur son impact environnemental. En 2024, 67 % de l'électricité française provenait du nucléaire, contre 14 % pour l'hydroélectricité, 9 % pour l'éolien et 4 % pour le solaire, selon RTE. La filière reste l'objet de critiques, liées aux risques d'accident et à la gestion des déchets radioactifs. Selon un rapport de la Cour des comptes, 280 000 m³ de déchets faiblement radioactifs, qui le resteront plus de 100 000 ans, ne disposent toujours pas de solution de stockage en France. À cela s'ajoutent des problèmes d'exploitation : l'EPR de Flamanville est à l'arrêt depuis mi-juin 2025 en raison d'un défaut d'étanchéité sur une soupape.Invasion de méduses, canicule, eau trop chaude : jusqu'où le réchauffement climatique peut-il menacer les centrales françaises ?Ludovic Dupin, directeur de l'information de la Sfen, expliquera comment un banc de méduses a paralysé plusieurs réacteurs à Gravelines et pourquoi la canicule freine ou arrête plusieurs centrales chaque été.

More than 100 of the world's largest energy companies are betting that artificial intelligence (AI) will revolutionize how electricity gets made, moved, and managed. But they're not waiting for Silicon Valley to build it for them—they've taken matters into their own hands through an EPRI-led consortium. That initiative is the Open Power AI Consortium, which EPRI launched in March 2025 to drive the development and deployment of an open AI model tailored for the power sector. According to its mission statement, the Open Power AI Consortium “aims to evolve the electric sector by leveraging advanced AI technologies to innovate the way electricity is made, moved, and used by customers. By fostering collaboration among industry leaders, researchers, and technology providers, the consortium will drive the development and deployment of cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to enhance operational efficiencies, increase resiliency and reliability, deploy emerging and sustainable technologies, and reduce costs while improving the customer experience.” “We're really looking at building an ecosystem to accelerate the development and deployment, and recognizing that, while AI is advancing rapidly, the energy industry has its own unique needs, especially around reliability, safety, regulatory compliance, and so forth. So, the consortium provides a collaborative platform to develop and maintain domain-specific AI models—think a ChatGPT tailored to the energy industry—as well as sharing best practices, testing innovative solutions in a secure environment, and long term, we believe this will help modernize the grid, improve customer experiences, and support global safe, affordable, and reliable energy for everyone,” Jeremy Renshaw, executive director for AI and Quantum with EPRI, said as a guest on The POWER Podcast. Among the consortium's members are some of the largest energy companies in the world, including Constellation, Con Edison, Duke Energy, EDF, Korea Electric Power Corp. (KEPCO), New York Power Authority (NYPA), Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E), Saudi Electricity Co., Southern Company, Southern California Edison, Taiwan Power Co., and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). It also includes entities like Amazon Web Servies (AWS), Burns and McDonnell, GE Vernova, Google, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Interconnection Authority, Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP), Khalifa University, Microsoft, Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), PJM, Rolls-Royce SMR, and Westinghouse Electric Co. “For many years, the power industry has been somewhat siloed, and there were not many touch points or communication between global utilities, technology companies, universities, and so forth. So, this consortium aims to facilitate making new connections between these important and impactful organizations to increase collaboration and information sharing that will benefit everyone,” Renshaw explained. EPRI, together with Articul8 and NVIDIA, has already developed the first set of domain-specific generative AI models for electric and power systems aimed at advancing the energy transformation. Although the technology has not been released publicly, it will be made available soon as an NVIDIA NIM microservice for early access. This development sets the foundation for more to come.

I'm Alan Hall and I'm here with Phil Tartaro from the Golden State of California. And Joel Saxon is at an undisclosed location in a secure bunker, so that's not gonna leak out where he is. And Rosemary is enjoying the winter months in beautiful Australia. And we have some interesting topics this week, but I wanna lead off with Rosemary. Went to another WIN conference, WIN plus conference in Australia. Rosemary. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, actually I, I feel petty, um, dissing this conference now because this is the one that Alan, you and I did a whole episode on how bad this conference was last year and, um. That's what caused us to feel like we needed to organize our own wind energy conference. Uh, that covered some technical topics, but you're walking around the conference, like, why is there so much hydrogen stuff at a wind energy conference? And I'm like, okay, well maybe that's like what they perceive that, you know, most of the [00:02:00] new projects in Australia, all the big ones say that they're associated with hydrogen. So maybe that's it. And then I started seeing a lot of, um, carbon capture things and, you know, like eels and all sorts of, all sorts of things related to. CO2. Um, so that confused me. Um, and then I saw that it was also a carbon capture conference too. So yeah, the exhibition was, was not, not too bad. I had definitely had lots of good conversations with people. Um, some interesting things like, um, the drone, uh, yeah, drone inspections, a few new capabilities coming up. There were a couple of people with good drones, um, that can. Test the resistance of an LPS and say that they can do a whole turbine in an hour and a half. So, um, that's, that's pretty good. There was also some cool NDT, uh, non-destructive testing stuff and a really small portable ultrasound machine, and they wouldn't give me a price,

Big Jolt 2025 Welcome to the Parkflyer Podcast for this weeks episode we start in the studio as Shannon Prepares for Big Jolt out in California. We want to thank Shannon for attending the event and bringing us coverage from the event with Craig and Matt in tow. Jreat fun was had by all and despite the mishaps the weekend turned out great. The best paint job was an SR71 painted in FedEx colors along with the Alaskan Salmon paint job that everyone really enjoyed. Our Heartfelt sorrow for our buddy Harry who lost one of his airframes this weekend, sorry to hear about that….Lots of great airplanes were in attendance and some great flying by all the pilots participating. Shannon pointed out that some of the larger Turbine size airframes were converted into EDF and flew really well. Thanks to everyone who participated and to all the pilots who support our podcast.
Admittedly, Danielle hasn't been very involved in the environmental lane of activism. We each have our lanes in which we feel most "qualified" and experienced to make an impact. And while this isn't one Danielle has concentrated on very deeply, members of her family have dedicated their life to this exact lane of activism. So when Danielle's incredible sister-in-law and her team at the Environmental Defense Fund, asked her to help disseminate crucial information that people (especially parents) may not otherwise acquire due to acts by the current administration, she of course knew she needed to use her platforms for this exact reason.Luckily, Kari Rhinehart, a mom from Indiana who has gone through the unimaginable, is beyond determined to retell her daughter's story to ensure we don't tune out and assume that just because we aren't hearing about "invisible" injustices and life-threatening exposures happening in our communities, that they aren't there. At 13-years-old, Kari's charismatic, passionate teen daughter, Emma, was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer. Determined to find out the cause, Kari began researching, and led to the overwhelming evidence that it was caused by trichloroethylene (TCE), a carcinogen that contaminated groundwater in Franklin, Indiana. Within a decade, over 50 other local children would be diagnosed with rare forms of blood, brain, and bone cancer. Devastatingly, Emma died three months later. Kari has not stopped fighting since then. Her story is heartbreaking, brave, and a stark reminder that we live in a society in which the greatest dangers are often the ones about which we've never been informed, on purpose. This conversation is not meant to instill overwhelming fear, but is a call-to-action for each of us to be increasingly observant, alert, and to trust our gut. With the enormous federal cuts taking place in environmental protections, even the limited information we once had is greatly at risk. For the unforeseeable future, it will be up to each of us and all of us to share stories, search for truth, and fight for justice, just like Kari.One small act can help this fight!
