This video is a conference debate featuring Gérald Bougrer discussing a systemic transition, specifically focusing on energy and water resources in Guadeloupe. The core purpose is to present a comprehensive plan for Guadeloupe's energy independence and improved water management, highlighting the role of local expertise and resources.
Critique of Existing Systems: The speaker criticizes the slow pace of existing projects and lack of public consultation in Guadeloupe. He highlights inefficiencies in administrative processes and the insufficient involvement of the local population in decision-making.
Proposed Systemic Transition: Bougrer advocates for a transition powered by Guadeloupe's own resources (geothermal energy, etc.) and proposes the creation of a cooperative to manage these resources. This cooperative would involve local citizens and prioritize collective benefit over profit.
