Scientists have drawn the bell from alarm for more than 20 years and warned us: the climatic extent and the speed of the change of human origin are without precedent and make heavy threats on everything that depends on the climatic conditions. The quality of life of many populations, biological diversity, harvests, glaciers and ice-barriers, the sea level, the frequency and intensity of the weather catastrophes (storms, floods…). How to produce then the quantities of energy necessary to satisfy world consumption without deteriorating in an irreversible way the environment? Renewable energies — wood, wind, sun, small hydraulic — can play an important part in the durable development.
