Après le rapport parlementaire publié avant l'été de deux députés macronistes Thomas Cazenave et Charles Sitzenstuhl qui proposait de conditionner les aides au logement des étudiants aux revenus parentaux et de revoir ainsi le calcul de l'aide personnalisée au logement (APL), la suppression pour les étudiants étrangers fait déjà bondir les locataires et leurs propriétaires mais aussi les fédérations et les associations comme l'Union sociale de l'habitat (USH), la Fondation pour le logement des défavorisés. A l'occasion du premier conseil des ministres du Gouvernement Lecornu le 14 octobre 2025, l'article 67 du projet de loi de finances pour 2026 prévoit que les aides ne seront pas revalorisées pour suivre le rythme de l'inflation en 2026 comme prévu par l'année blanche et annoncée par l'ancien Premier ministre François Bayrou. D'après le texte introduit dans le PLF, « le maintien des APL à leur niveau de 2025 permettra de réaliser une économie de 108 millions d'euros pour l'État. » Pour la Fondation pour le logement des défavorisés, « cette mesure est discriminante et injuste. » Sur environ 320 000 étudiants extracommunautaires, une minorité seulement de 2 % sont éligibles aux bourses sur les critères sociaux. De son côté, le Gouvernement a d'ores-et-déjà confirmé ses intentions. « Quand un Français va étudier aux États-Unis ou en Chine, il n'a droit à rien. À l'heure où des efforts sont demandés aux Français, chacun peut comprendre cette mesure », a expliqué ces jours-ci la porte-parole du gouvernement dans Le Parisien .

Episode Summary: In this special crossover episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Ana Conde from PVcase  originally featured on her Watt Matters Podcast to break down one of the most critical stages of solar project development: site selection and feasibility. From choosing the right land and navigating interconnection hurdles to understanding permitting, moratoriums, and evolving market dynamics, Benoy shares hard-earned lessons from developing over 100 MW of solar projects across the U.S. He also discusses how technology, AI, and relationships all play a role in finding and executing the right solar sites. This conversation is packed with practical insights for developers, EPCs, investors, and anyone who wants to understand how the best projects actually get built. Topics Covered: What truly defines a “good” solar site and how to spot red flags early How developers can evaluate flat land, proximity to three-phase power, and interconnection feasibility The growing challenges in saturated markets like New York and New Jersey How to navigate solar moratoriums, endangered species issues, and permitting Real-world lessons from community solar and rooftop projects, including NYCHA's Harlem portfolio The role of AI, GIS tools, and automation in speeding up site selection and design Why relationships, transparency, and trust still matter more than ever How the “Big Beautiful Bill” and regulatory uncertainty are reshaping the solar landscape Trends shaping the future: solar + storage, repowering assets, and new market geographies Notable Quote: “At the end of the day, you can have all the technology in the world, but if you can't build relationships, it's a lot harder to develop great projects. People do business with those they know, like, and trust.” Key Takeaway: Solar success starts long before construction. Smart site selection, community engagement, and disciplined feasibility analysis separate projects that thrive from those that never get off the ground.   Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, solar developer and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups.

Live from RE+ Las Vegas 2025! On episode 34 of the League, David Magid and Benoy Thanjan covered the top clean energy trends we're seeing: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) innovation — Acura's 2026 luxury EV showcases how EV batteries can provide backup power, resilience, and even revenue for homeowners while integrating into virtual power plants. EPC + supply chain bottlenecks — With new ITC rules and project rushes, developers must coordinate early with EPCs and suppliers to avoid costly delays. M&A momentum — Madison Energy Infrastructure just acquired NextEra Energy Resources DG platform, signaling strong demand for distributed generation. At RE+ we're also seeing retail electricity pricing climb sharply, especially in PJM, making solar even more competitive as the lowest-cost, fastest-to-build source of electricity.  A big thank you to Honda for letting us record this episode from their booth — it was the perfect backdrop to talk about innovation, resilience, and the future of clean energy. Give us 5 minutes and we'll give you the top insights in clean energy.    Host Bio: David Magid David Magid is a seasoned renewable energy executive with deep expertise in solar development, financing, and operations.

In the 34th episode of the League Podcast, Benoy Thanjan and David Magid break down the most important trends shaping the renewable energy market today. In just five minutes, we cover the biggest opportunities and risks facing developers, investors, and innovators in solar, storage, and beyond.   Key Takeaways Data Centers Driving Demand – Over 9.4 GW of interconnection applications in New Jersey's PSEG market in the last 12 months, led by data centers and advanced manufacturing. Community Solar Boom – New Jersey targets 3 GW by 2029, opening opportunities for rooftop developers; Illinois, Maryland, and New York projects can now pencil without the ITC if interconnection and lease terms align. Hybrid Power Solutions – A 944 MW behind-the-meter natural gas + battery storage plant in Pennsylvania highlights the shift toward hybrid generation and reliability models. Solar + Storage vs. Gas – New Jefferies analysis shows solar + storage is now cheaper than natural gas on a levelized cost basis. Safe Harbor Updates – New rules replace the 5% test with “beginning of construction” standards for projects above 1.5 MW AC, requiring four-year continuity and physical work tests. Capacity Growth Outlook – EIA forecasts 64 GW of solar and 18 GW of storage additions in 2025, making solar nearly half of all new U.S. capacity.   Why It Matters David highlights how developers can prepare for interconnection competition, leverage new community solar programs, and navigate shifting tax credit rules. I share insights on the new safe harboring provisions and what they mean for financing and project timelines. Together, we paint a picture of a rapidly scaling clean energy sector where solar is poised to supply 50–60% of U.S. electricity within two decades.   Host Bio: David Magid David Magid is a seasoned renewable energy executive with deep expertise in solar development, financing, and operations.

Li Wang Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live. I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment. During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Website design I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design. Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences.

Le Livre Mes battements. Rome, 30 septembre 2024. Il est 11h du matin, partie à 4h30 chez moi, j'arrive à la Villa Médicis qui me fait le beau cadeau de m'inviter en courte résidence pour finir le livre que vous tenez entre les mains. Donc, à l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, ce n'est encore qu'un tas de dessins et de textes plus ou moins ordonnés. J'ai du pain sur la planche. Car un premier livre de ce type, comme un premier disque, est un peu constitué d'une vie entière, et quand on a 50 ans passés, il y a du tri à faire. À partir du deuxième, si on a bien fait son boulot dans le premier, on part d'une page blanche ou, au pire, d'une page beige. Nous verrons. L'album Toi là-bas. Paris, le 1er décembre 2024. Après quelques saisons très denses, j'ai ressenti à l'automne dernier le besoin imparable de me retrouver seul. Du moins face à moi-même. Je suis parti m'enfermer à la Villa Médicis où j'ai terminé d'écrire et de dessiner mon premier livre (Mes battements, paru en mars 2025 chez Actes Sud), un voyage intérieur qui, depuis des mois, me baladait loin dans le passé, mon village, mon enfance, mon adolescence. Je me suis amusé à reprendre quelques chansons de mes débuts comme Je te manque, Avril 4000 ou Non merci (2005), et j'ai remarqué que je leur donnais quelque chose que je ne voyais pas à l'époque. Je les habitais d'une nouvelle façon. J'ai tiré le fil, et d'autres chansons comme J'aime lire (2008) et enfin Pourquoi on pleure (2017) sont sorties naturellement de la pelote. Alors j'ai eu envie de les enregistrer à nouveau, comme de les photographier dans leur nouveau costume. Je me suis laissé aller sans faire de plans, sans pression, juste pour le jeu de la réinterprétation, pour le plaisir. Beaucoup de plaisir, musical autant que vocal. Les chansons en sont sorties plus sereines et plus sensuelles aussi, je crois. Boîtes à rythmes et basses profondes, synthétiseurs en halos suaves autour de mes instruments acoustiques chéris, comme mon piano Una Corda, et aussi cette incroyable Fender VI chère à The Cure ou Richard Hawley, une guitare électrique des années 60 accordée une octave plus grave, dont le son me retourne (écoutez le solo dans La valse des lilas). J'ai invité Alice on the Roof – avec qui je travaille pour son prochain album et que j'adore – à partager Pourquoi on pleure. Alice a accepté. La chanson en duo a pris un sens nouveau. Je pensais faire un petit EP à sortir à l'occasion de la parution du livre, mais comme je fouillais dans le rétroviseur depuis des mois, j'ai croisé quelques autres chansons importantes dans ma vie. La très souchonesque C'est bien moi que j'ai chantée l'an passé en hommage à Françoise Hardy avec Sage. La sublime Valse des lilas de Michel Legrand dont j'ai tant aimé la version américaine Once Upon a Summertime par Blossom Dearie ou Miles Davis. Et le temps s'arrêtait, d'Adamo, que nous avions arrangée avec Julien Chirol et Renaud Létang en 2003 pour le grand Salvatore lui-même. Et surtout, Ma gueule, lourdeur de Johnny qui me renvoyait au pire de la préadolescence brutale et masculiniste, jusqu'à ce que je découvre en la chantant qu'elle pouvait m'aller comme un gant et m'émouvoir même. Puisque mon livre et mon disque sortent en même temps, puisque leurs visuels et leurs thématiques sont cousins, j'ai quand même eu envie d'écrire une chanson nouvelle pour faire le pont entre les deux. En laissant errer mon regard dans les arbres de la Villa Médicis, j'ai revu Laurence, Natalia, Maud, Sidonie, Ouria… premières amoureuses qui ne m'ont pas connu. Que j'ai aimées, follement, mais de loin. Que j'ai regardées, sans relâche, dont j'ai étudié les gestes, les habitudes, les vêtements, ne détournant le regard que si je sentais le leur se tourner vers moi. J'avais trop peur. Peur de quoi. J'ai aussi entendu dans les arbres les échos de Charlotte Sometimes des Cure, sur laquelle je pleurais ces amours à distance. Trois jours plus tard, j'ai terminé la première maquette de Toi là-bas. Ça n'est donc pas un EP, mais bien un album. Mon huitième. Post-scriptum : Je ne résiste pas à repartir sur la route pour promener mes chansons et mon livre. Cette fois, je serai seul sur scène. Je chanterai et jouerai, je parlerai un peu, mais aussi je dessinerai. À moins d'un miracle anatomique, il est peu probable que je parvienne à faire tout cela en même temps.

À partir du deuxième, si on a bien fait son boulot dans le premier, on part d'une page blanche ou, au pire, d'une page beige. Nous verrons. L'album Toi là-bas. Paris, le 1er décembre 2024. Après quelques saisons très denses, j'ai ressenti à l'automne dernier le besoin imparable de me retrouver seul. Du moins face à moi-même. Je suis parti m'enfermer à la Villa Médicis où j'ai terminé d'écrire et de dessiner mon premier livre (Mes battements, paru en mars 2025 chez Actes Sud), un voyage intérieur qui, depuis des mois, me baladait loin dans le passé, mon village, mon enfance, mon adolescence. Je me suis amusé à reprendre quelques chansons de mes débuts comme Je te manque, Avril 4000 ou Non merci (2005), et j'ai remarqué que je leur donnais quelque chose que je ne voyais pas à l'époque. Je les habitais d'une nouvelle façon. J'ai tiré le fil, et d'autres chansons comme J'aime lire (2008) et enfin Pourquoi on pleure (2017) sont sorties naturellement de la pelote. Alors j'ai eu envie de les enregistrer à nouveau, comme de les photographier dans leur nouveau costume. Je me suis laissé aller sans faire de plans, sans pression, juste pour le jeu de la réinterprétation, pour le plaisir. Beaucoup de plaisir, musical autant que vocal. Les chansons en sont sorties plus sereines et plus sensuelles aussi, je crois. Boîtes à rythmes et basses profondes, synthétiseurs en halos suaves autour de mes instruments acoustiques chéris, comme mon piano Una Corda, et aussi cette incroyable Fender VI chère à The Cure ou Richard Hawley, une guitare électrique des années 60 accordée une octave plus grave, dont le son me retourne (écoutez le solo dans La valse des lilas). J'ai invité Alice on the Roof – avec qui je travaille pour son prochain album et que j'adore – à partager Pourquoi on pleure. Alice a accepté. La chanson en duo a pris un sens nouveau. Je pensais faire un petit EP à sortir à l'occasion de la parution du livre, mais comme je fouillais dans le rétroviseur depuis des mois, j'ai croisé quelques autres chansons importantes dans ma vie. La très souchonesque C'est bien moi que j'ai chantée l'an passé en hommage à Françoise Hardy avec Sage. La sublime Valse des lilas de Michel Legrand dont j'ai tant aimé la version américaine Once Upon a Summertime par Blossom Dearie ou Miles Davis. Et le temps s'arrêtait, d'Adamo, que nous avions arrangée avec Julien Chirol et Renaud Létang en 2003 pour le grand Salvatore lui-même. Et surtout, Ma gueule, lourdeur de Johnny qui me renvoyait au pire de la préadolescence brutale et masculiniste, jusqu'à ce que je découvre en la chantant qu'elle pouvait m'aller comme un gant et m'émouvoir même. Puisque mon livre et mon disque sortent en même temps, puisque leurs visuels et leurs thématiques sont cousins, j'ai quand même eu envie d'écrire une chanson nouvelle pour faire le pont entre les deux. En laissant errer mon regard dans les arbres de la Villa Médicis, j'ai revu Laurence, Natalia, Maud, Sidonie, Ouria… premières amoureuses qui ne m'ont pas connu. Que j'ai aimées, follement, mais de loin. Que j'ai regardées, sans relâche, dont j'ai étudié les gestes, les habitudes, les vêtements, ne détournant le regard que si je sentais le leur se tourner vers moi. J'avais trop peur. Peur de quoi. J'ai aussi entendu dans les arbres les échos de Charlotte Sometimes des Cure, sur laquelle je pleurais ces amours à distance. Trois jours plus tard, j'ai terminé la première maquette de Toi là-bas. Ça n'est donc pas un EP, mais bien un album. Mon huitième. Post-scriptum : Je ne résiste pas à repartir sur la route pour promener mes chansons et mon livre. Cette fois, je serai seul sur scène. Je chanterai et jouerai, je parlerai un peu, mais aussi je dessinerai. À moins d'un miracle anatomique, il est peu probable que je parvienne à faire tout cela en même temps.

L'Union européenne a promis d'atteindre la neutralité carbone dans 25 ans, et pour y arriver, les pays sont lancés dans une course à l'énergie renouvelable. C'est particulièrement le cas, en Andalousie, dans le sud de l'Espagne, qui est l'une des régions les plus ensoleillées d'Europe. Là, plusieurs centaines de fermes solaires de grande ampleur sont en cours de développement. Oui, sauf que pour installer tous ces panneaux, les autorités espagnoles rachètent des terrains agricoles, et exproprient, parfois de force, les paysans. Le solaire est d'un coup devenu bien moins populaire.
