Grenelle 2 is the law establishing France "national commitment to the environment," and corresponds to the implementation of part of the Grenelle Environment Forum suggestions.

Objective : design and construct buildings more energy-conscious and better coordinated with the planning policies of housing, commercial development and transportation, while improving the quality of life for residents.

Action taken : Support technological advancements, promote efficient urban land resources and energy use, organise transport to provide for public mobility needs while being environmentally friendly. Beginning in 2020, new buildings must be energy positive. Starting in 2013, renovation of old buildings must happen at a rate of 400,000 per year.

Objective : upgrade transport infrastructure and behaviour.

Action taken : Develop urban public transport, suburban and high speed, develop electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, experiment with congestion charging, and encourage rail freight and shipping, reduce energy consumption and their carbon emissions.

Objective : drastically reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by saving energy and making cities more carbon-free.

Action taken : Promote the development of renewable energy, enforce and expand mandatory environmental labelling on products, conduct assessments of greenhouse gas emissions and develop an action plan to reduce them, and extend energy efficiency certificates.

Objective : ensure a proper functioning of ecosystems by protecting species and habitats.

Aciton taken : develop the Green and Blue, make agriculture sustainable, protect wetlands and drinking water catchments, supervise on-site sanitation and fight against water losses in networks, protect the sea and coastline and work to preserve biodiversity.

Objective : establish the necessary tools to start an ecological democracy, as in the private sector in the public sphere.

Action taken : develop reports on social and environmental aspects, in addition to financial reports; strengthen public consultation guidelines; reform the EESC and the CESR; designate representative environmental associations to participate in institutional dialogues; and enforce risk control, waste treatment, and health maintenance.

Objective : Protect the health of everyone and respect the environment by preventing risks, fighting against all forms of pollution, and managing waste more sustainably.

Action taken : fight against air pollution, light pollution, and noise; extend the means to fight against floods; consider emerging risks (nanosubstances, electromagnetic waves); implement a sustainable waste management system.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Running Out of Power

Forget the chips. Forget the code. The most expensive, in-demand commodity in the entire $3-trillion AI revolution is not a patented algorithm or a new Nvidia GPU. It's power. Specifically, a secure, high-voltage connection to the electrical grid that can deliver $100-500 million worth of juice to a new data center. Right now, the largest, richest companies on Earth—Google, Microsoft, Amazon—are in an unprecedented global land rush for energy. They are competing with small cities, massive manufacturing plants, and each other, all because…

Colombia's Cocaine Trade Now Outearns Its Oil Exports

Drug lords in Colombia are making more money from cocaine than the government is making from crude oil sales, a report from a Colombian university has found. At $16.5 billion for 2024, cocaine revenues surpassed oil export revenues, which stood at around $15 billion that year, UPI reported, citing the research from EAFIT University. Oil export revenues, however, remain Colombia’s largest export revenue generator, the research showed. Together with coal exports, oil exceeds the illicit trade in cocaine. Still, cocaine revenues in 2024 were…

Geothermal Could Power 65 Million U.S. Homes by 2050, DOE Says

“It’s going to be the decade of geothermal,” Cindy Taff, chief executive of geothermal company Sage Geosystems, told The Hill in February of 2025. Over a year later, it is becoming increasingly evident that Taff is definitely onto something. Although geothermal energy is still a tiny sector and faces some significant headwinds when it comes to its up-front installation and development costs, it has numerous competitive edges over other, more common energy sources. It’s clean, it’s constant, it’s politically popular,…

Asia's Crude Buying Spree Is Running Out of Steam

Asian refiners have reduced their spot purchases of Middle East crude for loading this month and next, following three weeks in which they had purchased millions of barrels of UAE, Saudi, and Iraqi crude. Lingering uncertainties about the navigability of the Strait of Hormuz and high freight costs have deterred Asian buyers from continuing the buying spree that began earlier this month, with millions of barrels of Abu Dhabi crude snapped up in spot trades. Incentives to Buy Immediately Wane Yet, refiners in Asia have spent the better part of the…
