The PS deputies approach the bill on renewable energies with a “rather benevolent” look, they said in a press briefing on Tuesday, when the environmental group does not consider it “not votable in the state”.
Adopted in the Senate at first reading on Friday, this bill to accelerate the production of renewable energies is expected in the Assembly Chamber in December.
At the PS, we look at this text rather in a benevolent way. We must move forward after the heat record this summer and the energy crisis, reacted the deputy and spokesperson for the group Christine Pires Beaune, during a press briefing at the Assembly.
His colleague Arthur Delaporte, also spokesperson, however regrets a slicing up of energy texts and a flagrant lack of vision, with another bill on nuclear power expected in the coming months in the Assembly, then a programming law on the energy and climate in the second half of 2023.
It would have been better to have a large text to trigger the Green New Deala real transformation of our energy model, but on renewable energies, we cannot be unfavorable to a text that is going in the right direction at this stage, believes the deputy from Calvados, member of a PS group of 31 deputies.
The environmental group – 23 members – has for its part asked the government to modify a text which, on leaving the Senate, does not seem to us to be votable.
The deputy EELV of Indre-et-Loire Charles Fournier judges that at this stage the bill continues to damage environmental law. We consider that the subject does not come from problems of consultation or involvement of populations, companies, communities, but quite the contrary from the fact that we are doing wrong.
Ecologists are also calling for progress in the management of renewable energies and their lesser impact on biodiversity.

The ball is in the government’s court, says Charles Fournier. If the government chooses a deal with Les Républicains, we will probably have a text that is stripped down, anti-oil, impossible to support, he warns.
For their part, the LR deputies regret that the bill is centered on wind turbines and that it contains zero effort on geothermal energy, for example.
In addition, we will present an amendment to reintroduce a veto by mayors on the establishment of renewable energies, which the Senate, dominated by the right, has removed, said the boss of the LR group Olivier Marleix to the press.
