Christophe, you say:
The pill will hurt all the more, in a context of health and economic crisis, for those who laughed at ecology and energy savings in recent years ...

This can be relatively true: if some are well thermally insulated, it will actually go better for them. However, if the effort becomes general, it will quickly be reduced to nothing by compensatory increases: it is those who control the taps of the pipes that are the strongest.
Farmers have already suffered from this process: their ability to increase production has been undermined by successive tariff cuts ...

And the compensating increases will even more impact those who did not give a damn about thermal performance!

Or are we going to make a price as for PCR tests and vaccines? A price "at the mouth of the customer"? : Evil: : Evil: : Evil:

Sorry, but when I see this kind of practice on the part of an organic farmer ... it's not a price problem ... or rather if: the seed is 100 more expensive than the edible material?



How much per kg of cucurbitacea?

I have a nephew made of it. the flesh is not terrible and there is no loss of soil fertility as it returns to the soil.
The seed has no husk and is in great demand as a protein source for veggies. :P

It's not just electricity rising
In September, food prices increased by 33% worldwide compared to the same period of the previous year, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. We are now reaching levels not seen since 2011. The causes of this record increase are well known: high transport prices, natural disasters that have affected harvests, shortage of labor ...

But a new factor could complicate matters further: the shortage of fertilizers. "The cost of fertilizers is one of the main drivers of current global food inflation, as the prices of the three groups of nutrients - potassium, phosphate and nitrogen - are at levels not seen for about a decade," warns Elena. Sakhnova, analyst at Moscow-based investment bank VTB Capital, in an interview with Bloomberg. A ton of ammonia traded at $ 590 at the end of September 2021, against less than $ 200 a year earlier. Inflation of nearly 200%, also note Les Echos.

However, the lack of fertilizer could directly affect the price of the food produced. Less corn, for example, means higher feed costs for dairy farmers and ranchers, which would end up translating into higher prices for meat like beef and chicken. https://korii.slate.fr/et-caetera/penur ... re-reduite

I am outraged ... faced with the increase, shitty day laborers do not even advise work or investment in energy savings ... they quickly evoke a few simple actions ...

The spike has wreaked havoc again !!

Gas, electricity ... What consumers can do in the face of soaring prices

As the price of energy soars, several possibilities are open to individuals to avoid taking action against fuel poverty.

(...)

Better knowledge of aid

Acting against fuel poverty requires a better knowledge of the aids that exist to improve the quality of housing and pay the bills, insists a university study in support of what associative actors find. While the surge in energy prices weighs on households, researchers Antoine Rode, Rania El Fahli and Héléna Revil from the University of Grenoble-Alpes have studied the effects of energy poverty in the agglomeration of Roanne (Loire). This exploratory study was carried out from March to July 2020 on this agglomeration of 40 municipalities and 100 inhabitants, where the poverty rate (000%) is in the national average and where 14,7% of housing dates from before 37.

The authors, attached to the Observatory of non-recourse to rights and services (Odenore), bring to light the strong ignorance by the households concerned of the aid to which they could claim: 78% of respondents do not know about financial aid for thermal renovation (tax credit, Renov premium) and 38% do not know those to reduce energy costs (Housing solidarity fund, energy check). Among the other devices that exist, there is the energy check (mentioned below).

In a press release dated September 28, Engie says it wants to mobilize for its customers at regulated prices directly impacted by this increase. Thus, the supplier claims that they will be able to benefit from "bill payment spreads, depending on individual circumstances." In addition, the Regulated Tariff Department of ENGIE also invites its monthly customers to review their monthly payments in order to avoid having to face an excessive regularization bill. A communication to this effect will be sent to them during the month of October. People needing assistance can be accompanied in their procedures by calling 34 60.

The non-use of the energy check

In 2018, the energy check replaced the social tariffs for gas and electricity. It is means-tested to help 5,8 million low-income households. Its average amount is 148 euros per household. An exceptional check of 100 euros will be allocated in December to deal with the current increase in energy prices. Prime Minister Jean Castex opened the door Thursday to an additional gesture, if the price moderation measures decided by the government were not enough.

However, the Grenoble researchers note that the energy check is the subject of a non-appeal about which the Court of Auditors has already challenged the public authorities: in 2019, 25% of households who received this check did not have it. used. "Non-receipt of the check (for example linked to a change of address), incomprehension of how to use it, loss or refusal to use it (on the side of households and energy suppliers)" are the explanations advances. This observation is shared by associations helping the most disadvantaged. "It's been four years that this percentage has not decreased", laments François Boulot, project manager on energy poverty within the Catholic Secours, who emphasizes that the mail sending the energy check is seven pages of explanations. .

Change supplier

The finding is clear: few consumers are aware of all the contract offers available on the market. Since 2007, the electricity and gas markets have been open to competition. Consequently, EDF and Engie (ex-GDF) are no longer the only ones to share the market. There are around 16 national gas or electricity suppliers. However, it is possible to change contracts or suppliers as many times as you want. There is no minimum commitment period and it is also possible to return to your old supplier whenever you wish. In Le Monde, Caroline Keller, head of the information and communication service of the national energy mediator, explains that changing supplier can lower your gas bill by "XNUMX% per year."

According to the Energy Regulatory Commission, you have to look at what best meets your energy needs. To compare the different electricity and natural gas offers, you can go to the Energies-Info offer comparator - which is independent. The UFC-Que Choisir site also has its own. It should be noted that the various suppliers can make practical sheets or one by telephone available to people who so wish. Also, a fixed price offer can be a good idea to avoid future increases, as long as you take a good look at the proposed offer and make sure that it meets your energy needs.

Small gestures to adopt

While the heaters are about to run at full speed, it is possible to deflate the bill with a few simple gestures. First of all, the best is to turn off the devices in standby. According to Ademe, the Ecological Transition Agency, turning them off can save up to 10% of the electricity bill (excluding heating). Another boost to lighten the bill: replace halogen bulbs with LEDs. Their advantages? They last longer than halogens and consume much less.

The most important causes are the RC, the depletion of resources and the ill-conceived energy transition and it continues https://www.sauvonsleclimat.org/images/ ... leaire.pdf

At 2 euros per liter of diesel, admittedly with a lot of taxes, I don't think oil will save the day!

We are beginning to enter the era of:

a) the limitation of petroleum products (the non-growth of extractions - shale oil which was to make the USA "independent", it's not so obvious ...)

b) with the money that is in the Gulf and ... in China; whoever has the money siphons off the remaining stocks ... The big change is that the "world reserves" (still copious - too much for the climate - no longer take the same path! Europe has since reduced its consumption) ten years I think).

Yes, I think that in a chaotic, therefore zigzagging way, like an individual who has drunk a little too much for too long, we are entering areas of energy turbulence in our old Europe! But like all decrepit ex-bourgeois, we still think we are rich. And we throw big parties - on credit! This is called "relaunching growth". The servile maids have not yet been fired. The concrete will not crack until later ...

No need to look for leaks in the Covid. It brought a few months of respite by forcing us to spend - and therefore consume - less.

But everyone dreams of only one thing: that it start again as before.

In Jacques Brel's "bourgeois", replace "bourgeois" by "French" ...

I was not sure where to insert this RTE report, released today, and entitled "Energy Futures 2050".
For those who are interested: https://assets.rte-france.com/prod/publ ... tats_0.pdf

Be careful, it's serious stuff. The executive summary alone is 64 pages.

Go back to "Fossil energies: oil, gas, coal and nuclear electricity (fission and fusion)"
