Energy Transition, Between System Homeostasis and Collapse
The discourses organized around the energy transition pretend to open a new horizon in the French political landscape, but are these provisions really newsworthy? We suggest to place this proposal into a wider perspective punctuated by the social discourses in response to the global ecological crisis. Despite some similarities between these semantics as for example the confidence placed in the ability of modernity to face the ecological crisis, the introduction of the idea of transition opens a wider discrepancy then expected at the first sight as the ghost of a major socio-ecological collapse announces it.
