Commentaire / Reader comments

j'en profite pour rappeler comment un manager incompétent
a pu transformer un de nos fleurons technologiques nationaux
en société moribonde. Celui là même qui rêvait d'une

"entreprise sans usine".  (Alcatel-Lucent)
Il aura bientôt raison lorsque Alcatel aura disparu.
Quelle honte ! En outre, il n'a pas oublié son parachute
en partant contrairement à ces salariés licenciés qui
eux paieront cash ses erreurs stratégiques. source:madox

No money for Innovators, no Cleantech party for France !

Les Banques francais ne finance pas le stock ou materiel
necessaire pour production style "Silicon Valley" Export

1000 pieces a produire minimum en France.
Example BNP Paribas
===================
a government co-owned french Bank advertises
With 600 million euros covered by European investment bank
but unable to finance stock, electric components for
production for only 25 000 Euros. France knows no
pre-financing of Orders, because Cities are late payers.
So it stays all a dream for small Entrepreneurs, no
money for innovation to market and production ? The
French "Etatisme" features always big companies like
Veolia, Renault, EDF. No free ECO market created yet.
Europeans and Int'l companies excluded by famous
partnership "publique/privee" "public private club"
the open door often close to insider corruption.
Minority Enterprises 3 - 15 employees have to get
orders first, like in US cities to start a
ECO green economy
; all other is "closed society"
The main progress players stay away, money lost.

France to create national Solar PV Industry ?
Mood:  accident prone
Now Playing: must compete with Germany, China, U.S.
Topic: Politics

In 2020 Solar electricity costs to reduce by 50%
France however has to speed up in Renewable energy
education for Green jobs, 25 years missing.
Production and materials costs and Pre-financing
orders a whole finance concept has to develop for
Solar France. No General Electric will prefinance
EDF. So France has to open it's market for new
players for fair solar energy trade, especially
for Germany, China, U.S.. If national restricton games
like "agreed installateur" for european homologated
products continue to protect the french market
from european and Int'l players, no progress in sight.
EDF the $100bn electricity provider did not and does
not understand Solar business. More it's looking to survive
with the $50bn burden dept from overaged nuclear
industry to replace. So new companies to create.

France years behind in Smart Meter development applications compared to U.K., the experimental European, demands company Voltalis, a company that installs electricity management devices in homes and businesses and then manages their use, would have to, in effect, pay power producers for the power that it saves.

Note: Only the Royals in Paris make money, ordinary consumers obliged to pay for the power efficiency; French paradox to change...
