Re: As I've said before (none / 0)
On the first one, do you have handy statistics on the global energy use per category (as refined as possible) and what kind of savings for what cost we can achieve with current technology?

I'm curious at what better isolation (is that the word in english?) can do for what cost.

BTW, I did not see a story or diary on the european grid failure of last saturday, did I miss a discussion somewhere?

Re: As I've said before (none / 0)
isolation is insulation in English.

isoler (in this sense) = "to insulate".

"isolation" in English is isolement in French.

There was some mention of the blackouts here. But there has been a lot of play since on the alleged responsibility of wind power, and I'd be curious to see Jerome's take on that.

Thanks for the english lecture :)

Since this involves a private company I assume we'll never know anything about it...
