Show Notes
In the final episode of season two, We the Power heads to France—a country where 75% of the electricity demand is met by nuclear power. Despite its low carbon credentials, France has a flourishing and fast-growing community-energy movement. We follow the story to Grenoble, the heartland of community energy, where local logistics worker turned energy company boss Fabienne Mahrec is pushing the revolutionary idea that power generation should work for the people.
