Under the generic title The Romans the world, Omnibus editions published in two thick volumes twelve works of Simenon fed by his visits between 1928 and 1935 in the Middle East, Africa, Central America and the remote Galapagos Islands. In the first volume, and found Coup de lune (1933), People across (1933), The Customers Avrenos (1935), Ward negro (1935), 45 ° in the shade (1936) and during Long (1936). In the second: The White bespectacled (1937), Those of thirst (1938), banana Tourists (1938), A Crime in Gabon (1938), The Elder Ferchaux (1945) and The Stowaway (1947). And those are the novels of disillusionment and shattered illusions, the themes dear to Simenon as the leak, the perception of others and, in this instance, blinding white man's land colonization.
. "I've never tried the exotic, Simenon wrote in A man like any other . I never got used in my books. For me, men were men everywhere, and whether black or half-naked Tahitian flower, in sarong, I was not looking for the difference but rather similarity. "
These two volumes are presented and discussed by Jean-Baptiste Baronian.
can not get any easier as the title, and it sums up the situation that has accelerates and becomes more complex than ever. Who could say that the lines move as much when our association was born just a year ago? Many
work, documentation gathered to build a solid opinion on industrial wind turbines. Satisfaction: all the arguments we set out during this year were confirmed. Provided the end of the tunnel is still far ...
past two months have been eventful, difficult to list them all, but if it were to retain only a few:
regional elections:
The meeting of Dieppe, 19 February 2010 at the initiative of 76 ela Coordination, held in the heart of the campaign was a success as about the number of participants, as the media coverage and benefits in terms of commitment on the part of candidates. The Left Front led by Sébastien Jumel UMP and Minister of Agriculture Bruno Le Maire also opposed development onshore wind in the current conditions, while leaving the door open for offshore development.
Press
Unable to identify all articles by local press about the wind, even for our department! Yet there is little adorned with all the virtues of their party hacks,
Parks wind began to show openly their least defensible aspects
: non-compliance with planning rules, residents who are victims of nuisance, prefects decision against the advice of the investigator public (Mesnil-Raoul), Judgement courts to break the boundaries of ZDE, to stop the operation of wind turbine noise makers ... remained the national media. Still, only a year, multiply topics concerning the living conditions of degraded riparian ecological imposture represented by industrial wind turbines in the current regulatory and economic system, the diversion of public money that they cause. Is this a sign of awareness that advance?
In last, an article
duck chains reveals that the financial scandal that represents wind power industry.
And there is really changing class! And go! A little noticed dramatic video on France 2, showing a wind turbine in full meeting of natural heritage protection ... Evidence that the industrial wind attack only protected animals, but not "true" vultures in our campaigns?
wind vs. Vulture - Ma-Tvideo France2
Parliamentary Inquiry
in France. The idea is to stop the anarchy
speculative
wind around, the better coach in the future while weighing his real interest or not for the environment. In most associations have expressed uncompromising political groups who had already voted at the regional elections.
Doing?
However, we are not yet at the end of the road, but lightens the horizon (hopefully it is cleared of wind turbines as long as possible!) And this is good news to take.
Today, doubt has changed sides , and if we can not declare victory, it is clear that the bounded elected not to consider the challenge to their own inhabitants, are all the more unforgivable that they are now short argument to defend their project.
All their arguments have fallen one by one : environmental protection, economic benefits for the common guarantee of future investment, machinery safety, health safety, harmless to animals, noise negligible, framing the development of wind turbines by strict planning and ZDE to prevent urban sprawl territories, reassuring words about the dismantling of machinery, etc..
Nothing else does. What remains then? That profitability calculations promoters, and the obsession of elected municipal and community not to lose face by admitting their error, or worse to make them ready for any dirty tricks to undermine the associations that oppose their project!
An argument often raised by developers quickly buried. Yet the evidence multiply about noise-related discomfort, as the wind industry are small . Finally, "small" 120-m high at birth, now reaching adolescence rather the 150 m! Today speech promoters can not be believed; and we can not say we did not know when it will be too late!
Since our meeting in February 2009 (already!), We showed:
a site visit by a chosen few framed by the developers a clear day, could not replace the perception of a resident living 24-24H near a wind farm,
- intended to calm the protest of local residents more than reassure them really - never replace human perception. Try it! Measure the sound of a dripping faucet, and it's a safe bet that the outcome is low ... and yet, is it not a sound to make you lose sleep? must never lose sight of the human consequences when modifying an environment ... But this, supporters of the wind industry at all costs does not give a damn!
