Xavier Yvon: The idea for this episode came from Sébastien Julian, from the Sciences department of L’Express. We ran into each other in the halls of the editorial office a few days ago. I knew he was returning from a report on wind turbines in Denmark, I asked him if it went well. He told me that we could totally make a podcast out of it. As he is a faithful listener to La Loupe, he had already thought about the form.
To convince me, he brought out excerpts from an episode we had made in the fall, with another Sébastien, Pommier this time, about the model of green buses in Sweden:
Sebastien Pommier : “In fact, it is the culmination of a massive conversion plan launched some twenty years ago now across the country. Swedish transport decision-makers are already anticipating the future. There are brand new models new, running on biodiesel and biogas, the only two engines used in the whole conurbation. It’s interesting to think about the adaptability of all that in France.”
Xavier Yvon : You are probably wondering what the relationship is with Denmark… I asked Sébastien Julian the question. He suggested that we use the Swedish episode as a model: tell the story of a country in northern Europe, well ahead of us, which is experimenting with a promising technology for the transition climate change, with its successes and its difficulties. Then, ask the question of the possible transposition of the model, at a time when our country must accelerate on renewable energies.
