Whereas the climatic events planned by the world experts become clearer every year even with an alarming acceleration, some, called climate change skeptics, challenge the policies established by their predecessors. The energy transitions which rely on renewable energies and on energy efficiency demand long-term policies and cannot be questioned on every election.

A phenomenon that provides glimmers of hope is the cost of produced energies from renewable resources which continues its already dazzling decrease. Nowadays, the least expensive way of producing electricity is through photovoltaic power generation. Wind energy comes in second place. Some industrialists implemented energy efficiency measures while producing with renewable energies and that, successfully resulted in a drastic drop of their energy bill whilst reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.

This applies for the industrialists, but is also becoming more and more attractive to households, cities and rural communities. The evolution in energy storage, whose cost also decrease, shows that new environmental and economic solutions will be implemented to supply energy without any wasting while being consumed, especially on our continent where still 600 million inhabitants have no access to electricity.
