45 000 billion by 2050

For the IEA, 45 000 billion dollars will be invested by 2050 to ensure that renewable energy provide 50% of energy.  This figure may seem high, but still very relative forty years and remains mainly a redeployment of what is often invested in the fossil at present.

That is very little compared to the rate of investment of an industrial country (currently above 20% of GDP). For a small country like France, the total investment over 40 years is 25 000 billion with the current rate, given the increase in GDP, much of which is expected to be affected energy issue. So far nothing new in the program of the IEA, just a relativization efforts to accomplish. Taking into account the mix + renewable economy, these 45 000 billion would be largely indeed returned to that date.

The main point is the creation of a framework. Some countries have established a dynamic and an industry that will be the next industrial revolution, others not.

The new industrial revolution will be renewable energy. According to the UN program of the environment, millions of jobs will be created in this sector, and will not be easy (you can include agriculture and recycling, already often poor jobs). But the context is not expected that. The emirs lose the hand, and reducing consumption in developed countries reduces the pressure on production. The volatility has weighed heavy and consume always more expensive than save. In addition, many jobs will be “green” by developments in technology is particularly true of the building.

But the economic mechanism weighs heavy too.

While foolishly, the sector efficiency, renewable as is now becoming a profitable business and economic weight increasingly important that the movement will develop itself.

It oust, more traditional sectors, who, in addition, the disadvantage of being crippled by a cap noticeable, although not absolute.

Already Braudel already talking thirty years ago, destroying ceiling reconstituted growth.

He asked to know more “when” rather than “if” and he believed the economy “classical” Many More fossil energy.

The only important question ultimately is the speed of the transfer. Fast or more measured?

This issue will be resolved by delaying the fight current energy business. People who make up a lot of money, and all mutations, there are victims, they were very rich. The wealth if inherited, not engineering.

T he gain weight for vehicles is a major challenge to control their consumption of fuels and increasing autonomy, setting key to success of future electric vehicles (READ). TORAY the world’s leading manufacturer of carbon fiber and specialist composite materials has just opened an R & D center in Nagoya that will address all development projects relating to the introduction of carbon fiber in the automotive sector. His interlocutors will be Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other Japanese manufacturers. For Toray is a strategic goal to open this market to technology so far reserved for aviation or racing cars. The owner of this company hopes to reach a turnover of $ 35 million by 2015 in this sector. The key to success is the reduction of cost of materials and speedy implementation of a play on industrial equipment adapted to the speed of the car.
