After a year 2022 marked by climatic disasters in France and around the world, soaring gas and electricity prices, semiconductor supply disruptions, the war in Ukraine, etc., public awareness of energy-climate issues is accelerating. But understanding these issues remains long and difficult, given their complexity, technical nature and often vertiginous nature.
