The rest of our overview of the programs of the presidential candidates: we are interested this Thursday in the proposals of the communist candidate Fabien Roussel in terms of the environment, with the co-secretary of the PC in Côte-d’Or Georges Vayroux .
France Bleu Bourgogne – Georges Vayroux, among the priorities of our listeners and viewers, there is the wish to develop more ecological transport in the territory of the Côte-d’Or. In this regard, Fabien Roussel suggests making urban public transport free, a measure that will be funded. how, tell us?
Georges Vayroux- By taking the money where it is. Total made billions in profits from the oil crisis. It is for the moment the motorists who pay the bill to fatten Total. You have to take the money where it is, steal the money from the profiteers, I quote Total but there are others.
Another important element, your candidate Fabien Roussel wants to reduce road freight transport by investing massively in rail freight and river freight.
This is also one of the reasons why the railway workers are on strike today. You know a few months ago, a regional daily that we all know said “why is the Lino saturated?” There are two answers: either because there are not enough roads, and therefore we concrete or because there are too many cars.
Are we not doing enough about transportation?
And yet, the Dijon conurbation’s transport network, at the very least, is one of the best in France. It’s not enough. So we are offering free urban transport and not just in Côte-d’Or, of course. And we are investing in transport, in rail freight: look at the oldest industrial areas in Dijon. There are tracks everywhere. They are no longer used.
But here too, you have to invest. Here too, money is needed. Will the state be there?
Sure. By finding new ways, by taking the money where it is. For example by restoring the wealth tax, by multiplying it by three.
Nothing on the electric car?
You know, for me, the best city car, the best car, the least polluting, is the train, the tram or the bicycle. So of course, me, rather than investing in electric cars, I am not a specialist, but I still have questions about the problems of supply of the main materials, for batteries, copper, lithium and their recycling problems in the future. It’s not just me, even the CEO of Peugeot, that’s the only point on which we agree, said more or less the same thing.
Unlike other left-wing candidates, Georges Véro, you did not turn your back on nuclear power, quite the contrary. To decarbonize French energy by 2040 2050. This is the horizon given by Fabien Roussel. You propose to develop nuclear with renewable energies.
This is called the energy mix, ie there will be nuclear. And then there will be renewable energies, wind turbines, solar panels, etc. It is under these conditions that we will really succeed in a real ecological transition. You know, when wind turbines don’t turn due to lack of wind, it can happen.
So all the wind projects that exist today and that will exist in Côte-d’Or, do you keep them?
Yes, provided that there is genuine consultation with the inhabitants. And don’t forget also that Fabien Roussel wants a single public center that brings together all the means of energy production.
