Le mirage du gaz de schiste - 3 questions à Thomas Porcher. Le livre "Le mirage du gaz de schiste" publié aux éditions Max Milo sort aujourd'hui.
Ce livre nous propose une étude inédite sur les conséquences qu'aurait l'ouverture législative aux gaz de schiste aux gaz de schiste en France. Nous avons posé 3 questions à son auteur, Thomas Porcher, docteur en économie et professeur en marché des matières premières à l'ESG-MS et chargé de cours en économie internationale à l'université Paris Descartes. Vous sortez aujourd'hui un livre intitulé "Le mirage du gaz de schiste", quel est l'objectif de ce livre? Depuis que la France a refusé l’exploitation du gaz de schiste, les lobbies pro gaz de schiste ont orienté le débat sur les gains économiques qu’engendrerait l’exploitation.
A force de marteler des arguments comme les créations d’emplois, la baisse de la facture de gaz ou l’indépendance énergétique, beaucoup de politiques et de citoyens se sont laissés séduire par le soi-disant potentiel économique du gaz de schiste. America's Real Criminal Element: Lead. Illustration: Gérard DuBois When Rudy Giuliani ran for mayor of New York City in 1993, he campaigned on a platform of bringing down crime and making the city safe again.
It was a comfortable position for a former federal prosecutor with a tough-guy image, but it was more than mere posturing. Since 1960, rape rates had nearly quadrupled, murder had quintupled, and robbery had grown fourteenfold. New Yorkers felt like they lived in a city under siege. Throughout the campaign, Giuliani embraced a theory of crime fighting called "broken windows," popularized a decade earlier by James Q. Giuliani won the election, and he made good on his crime-fighting promises by selecting Boston police chief Bill Bratton as the NYPD's new commissioner.
The results were dramatic. But even more remarkable is what happened next. All in all, it seemed to be a story with a happy ending, a triumph for Wilson and Kelling's theory and Giuliani and Bratton's practice. The PB Effect Did Lead Make You Dumber?
Déchets, un enjeu à venir. Y aura-t-il de la neige en été ? Shell Nigeria oil spill '60 times bigger than it claimed' Several years on ... fishing boats lie abandoned in oil-polluted water near Bodo, Nigeria.
Photograph: Pius Utomi Ekpei/AFP/Getty A Shell oil spill on the Niger delta was at least 60 times greater than the company reported at the time, according to unpublished documents obtained by Amnesty International. According to Shell, the 2008 spill from a faulty weld on a pipeline resulted in 1,640 barrels of oil being spilt into the creeks near the town of Bodo in Ogoniland. The figure was based on an assessment agreed at the time by the company, the government oil spill agency, the Nigerian oil regulator and a representative of the community. But a previously unpublished assessment, carried out by independent US oil spill consultancy firm Accufacts, suggests that a total of between 103,000 barrels and 311,000 barrels of oil flooded into the Bodo creeks over the period of the leak.
Oil spill compensation in Nigeria is based largely on the amount of oil spilt. Worse than Bad.
