“I am convinced, if we lead these efforts we will respond to the short-term problems to succeed in the ecological transition”, explains Stanislas Guerini. According to him, “It requires making collective efforts, proportionate efforts, we will start by acting on those who have the most leverage, the state, large companies, large sectors”. The Minister believes that “this is the condition for being entitled to ask all of our fellow citizens to make an effort”.
All this is based on voluntarism, there are no obligations, it is a question of encouraging the French to adopt these habits, also explains the President of the Republic. “There will be no thermometer police to check people’s homes that they do not exceed 19 degrees”abounds Stanislas Guerini because energy is too expensive and therefore “It has a very direct impact on the wallet”.
“Lowering the temperature at home by 1 degree means energy savings of around 7% almost immediately”.
