'France has some of the cleanest electricity in the world, but we're not using enough of it'

Thierry Bros, an energy and climate expert and Professor of Science and Economics at Sciences Po, has expressed the need for a fundamental reevaluation of climate policy in the face of geopolitical conflicts and the struggle to balance climate commitments with economic and security concerns. Bros advocates for electrification as the primary step, recognizing that it does not guarantee clean electricity.

His perspective is based on a critical evaluation of international climate diplomacy and European energy policy. Bros acknowledges the failures of numerous COP conferences and questions the effectiveness of ambitious climate targets that have not led to the required structural transformation. He proposes that electrification presents a more pragmatic alternative to the technological priorities previously emphasized by European policymakers.
