Merindol Fair 2005 on Eco-Energies
I should have posted this announcement much earlier, but my friends know that I am currently dealing with a fairly serious health alert, for several months now, that I have to manage (tests, biopsy, etc.).
Nevertheless, I will be present on June 4 and 5 in Mérindol for the Eco-Energies fair, where I will give a lecture on Saturday the 4th, room 1 at 2:30 p.m.
Access to the fair and all the lectures is entirely free
There is no significant budget (as opposed to that heavily subsidized fair, and therefore ideologically dependent on its many sponsors, that the Science Frontière festival has become). As a matter of principle, the speakers travel to the venue, feed and lodge themselves by their own means, as do journalists or anyone else.
This fair should not be remembered only for its "eco-energies" aspect. There is an imperious and urgent need to gather annually and exchange ideas, in an informal and unconventional way, especially among scientists somewhat aware of the things of this world. Until now the annual event "Sciences Frontières," organized for more than twenty years by the journalist Jean-Yves Casgha, had fulfilled this function. I went there many times since its creation in the mountain resort of Puy Saint Vincent, as did Michel Bounias and Jacques Benveniste (both deceased), Louis David (kept away by serious health problems) as well as the legendary and indestructible Rémy Chauvin. But over the years this event has lost all its meaning, becoming a rather pathetic purring, perfectly unbearable. Before his death my friend Benveniste had even said "I will no longer go to Sciences-Frontières. It no longer has the slightest interest." Louis David had for years deserted these sterile forums and there is no question of my ever being seen there again.
The Merindol fair, led by thoroughly likable idealists, thus presented itself. We will therefore go there and you can well imagine that a great many things will be discussed, in particular the future of the planet and the major crisis into which all the peoples of the Earth are sinking at great speed

Initially these meetings were intended to present various works in the field of energy saving and the use of renewable energies. It was my friend Christophe Tardy, an engineer, who brought me there; the initial pretext was the Pentone engine affair. Below the diesel tractor equipped by Jean-Louis Milletand the file I devoted to this affair.

If Benveniste had still been in this world, he would have agreed to come to Mérindol. Louis David too, if he were not struggling with family health problems, unfortunately common but tragic. We send him our friendly support.
I pestered Souriau this morning to the point that he promised to come. Pretending to be finishing his book "Grammaire de la Nature," a veritable Penelope's tapestry, he tried to dodge, in vain. He will therefore come and speak, promising us "to criticize a certain number of ready-made ideas." There is no doubt that his contributions will enrich the debates. I remember that a few weeks ago he remarked, what I had read nowhere, that atmospheric warming automatically leads, through the warming of the oceans, to a release of dissolved CO2, this being able to accelerate the process. This morning he told me that Nature was much better equipped than man to react to climatic variations, provided it is left to do its work instead of being constantly thwarted. Instead of lamenting the rise of CO2 in the air (but it is entirely legitimate to seek to limit its emission) it would be intelligent to encourage the development of forests, instead of stubbornly doing the opposite. Ultimately, in the form of oil or coal, Nature has done its best to remove as much CO2 as possible from the atmosphere, but we stubbornly do the opposite, instead of seeking other forms of energy. And, by Jove, there is no shortage of them, between the Sun, the wind, the tides, geothermal energy and the rest.
In fact, simply by exploiting the energy brought into play by human stupidity we would very probably have enough to solve the problems, with that alone.
