and this cultural revolution will continue

Bill round table discussion begins today in the Assembly. In what state of mind discuss this step

I am confident. We have worked extensively with members, they are perfectly aware of the issues, the need to give the France the legislative tools to continue his transfer to a sobre carbon and environment-friendly economy. Grenelle, it is a legislative marathon more of thirty months, five major laws, three cent fifty hours of discussions at the meeting. Moreover, this text, in the context of economic crisis, is a deposit of significant local employment. Beyond that, I think that should be also restored the truth.

Which one

The truth is that we are already in a situation of rupture, irreversibly on six major sites of the round table: four times more trams (365 new kilometres) and lines (five new lines) high speed than before, fleet more sober in Europe, the arrival at the end of this year to electric vehicles for the general public, an increase of 600 of the solar PV in two years120,000 eco-loan rate zero signed in a year, 17,000 converted organic farms... It is this which is move the lines of the French company in depth. Trams and buses in own site networks are transforming our cities, facilitate our movements and create growth and employment in our territories. In the building, today, no one is built in the same way! Energy efficiency has become the rule. Buyers have perfectly understood, a non-efficient housing sold much less... and this cultural revolution will continue. We are witnessing the birth of a new trade to which person thought two years ago, the energy optimization of buildings. Not the mere sale of electrical installations or the completion of work on the building envelope, but the sale of a service with a guarantee of performance in the long term. I know that industrialists are thinking already. All this would have not happened is without the Grenelle.

Then why was the impression that the political moves

There is no political decline. But let us not fooled, such progress in a few days work not everyone! No Government in Europe initiated an irreversible metamorphosis in a few days. I remember that, on 273 undertakings of the Grenelle environment, more than 90 are already completed or in progress. For the rest, we must continue to demonstrate the economic reality of green growth and especially to reaffirm the political meaning of our action without leave ideology return to the top. For me, it is very clear: the Department should continue to bring together all the economic actors and environmentalists to strengthen the competitiveness of our country. Taking into account of the ecology in the economy and vice versa is part of a "win-win" logic

In recent weeks, this logic has rather declined!

This is totally false. We have never had so many ways to act. The round table, it is 440 billion euros of private investment and public, it is 600,000 jobs, EUR 10 billion for the large loan... Our strength also has the support of public opinion and the idea that the commitments of the round table are to reconcile society with itself.

Even the farmers mounted in Paris with their tractors last week

They must not mislead adversary by making the environment a scapegoat. Farmers through a major economic crisis, no one disputes. But it has nothing to do with environmental issues. On the contrary, the Grenelle environment is the way for agriculture to reappropriate a part of the distribution by creating, for example, short circuits. I would remind you that our country has nearly 17,000 farms converted to organic agriculture, or 50 more than two years; are now 10 farmers by day which convert to organic! In addition, by promoting the installation of photovoltaic panels in the farms, we allow peasants to build activity and additional income. Questioning the Grenelle, it is also calling into question the aid. I'm not sure that all want to.

Wind energy professionals consider that the amendments to the text are to permanently put them sticks in the wheels. What do you think

The wind French, it is 90 of growth in two years! We want it amplify this ambitious development and thus better organize to achieve the objectives of the round table, while respecting our landscapes and avoid an anarchic urban sprawl. I have no doubt that the debates in the Parliament will help to build a good compromise.
