00:00:00All of a sudden there is technology that allows you
00:00:03to do it 16,
00:00:06but for citizens, access to renewable energy is still
00:00:10very complicated due to all the bureaucratic obstacles they encounter in
00:00:13administrations. Everything that
00:00:16breathes in the new energy model,
00:00:19braking, stopping, inverse
00:00:22taxation, you say well, this is not the country we
00:00:25want, Spain has approved it, I already lost count
00:00:29of the changes in the last five or
00:00:32seven years, I don't know, I've already lost count, moreover, they are very
00:00:35cumbersome, they are very convoluted, you are never sure that you are doing it right below
00:00:3910 kw, which is already a rather
00:00:42large house, there is no problem, there is no
00:00:45restriction, anyone in their home can install self-consumption
00:00:49or can install some type of energy produced by themselves,
00:00:52you yourself install a photovoltaic system at home, prepare
00:00:56yourself, you need at the moment two permits from the distributing company.
00:01:00you need a municipal license, not just a building
00:01:03permit, in many cases, more things, then the administration of
00:01:07the Generalitat also gives you its permits, the citizen when
00:01:10we say the citizen in the middle, in the middle, the confusion
00:01:13remains, because beyond
00:01:16that, it is not there,
00:01:25in Catalonia there are three million cars,
00:01:28transport, both private vehicles and freight
00:01:32transport, represent 40% of the total energy consumption and is done
00:01:35almost entirely with fossil fuels. the
00:01:39Catalan supermarket chain Condis has made a commitment to
00:01:42electrify its fleet of urban
00:01:46delivery vans.
00:01:49we have set ourselves the objectives of trying
00:01:52to migrate everything that would be the Barcelona
00:01:55city fleet in the next five or six years
00:01:59to electric vehicles, in fact we are already in
00:02:02all our own stores in the parking lot installing charging points
00:02:06both to charge our vehicles, leaving another
00:02:09charging point available for the consumer.
00:02:13We have compared the consumption and CO2 emissions of two Condis
00:02:17delivery vans, one with a diesel engine and another with an electric
00:02:21engine.
00:03:08Global transport depends 94% on petroleum
00:03:12derivatives, you tell me we have the electric
00:03:16vehicle, that's a reality, yes, but it's a reality
00:03:19for now as far as private
00:03:22vehicles, passenger vehicles,
00:03:25heavy goods transport,
00:03:29maritime transport,
00:03:31eh, the penetration of
00:03:33electricity eh, will be
00:03:37delayed, the search for trucks,
00:03:40no, for alternative fuels is
00:03:43being a little more complex
00:03:45than what it was to look for a
00:03:48car, our desire was to find this truck, a hybrid
00:03:52truck, we were talking to some manufacturers
00:03:56and well, it's not quite here yet, even though
00:04:00the arrival of the electric car on the market is already a reality, mobility will
00:04:04still be for a long time one of the great pending subjects of
00:04:07the energy transition.
00:04:25Either we are capable of democratizing the energy
00:04:28system, or the energy
00:04:32transition will be carried out by the big oligopolies and we will
00:04:35continue to be subject to their
00:04:36dictatorship.
00:04:42The change in the energy model does not only consist of removing
00:04:46fossil fuel plants, carbon plants, gas plants and replacing them with renewables. It also consists
00:04:50of a very nice concept that we call the democratization of energy, that is, that
00:04:53everyone for the first time in history decides what energy
00:04:56source they want.
00:05:00The energy transition
00:05:02is a path, but like every
00:05:06path it is full of uncertainties
00:05:08and complexities.
00:05:11I am not saying in any way that we will not achieve something,
00:05:15what I am saying is that on this path we will find
00:05:19mountains, we will find precipices, and to cross this
00:05:22precipice we will have to have a
00:05:24bridge,
00:05:29we are where we are because we have crossed
00:05:32what we have crossed, until 20 years ago we did not
00:05:35know the effects at a global
00:05:39level, at a health level, of all this. Now
00:05:42we know it, we have it clear, it has been shown, now we also
00:05:46have alternative technologies eh, that are at the same
00:05:50price or even cheaper than burning fossil fuels, what are
00:05:53we waiting for?
00:05:58The need to abandon growth is the need to mature, it has been
00:06:02very useful to grow so quickly, it has been endowed with a huge amount of
00:06:05technology, of a huge capacity, we have learned many things, we
00:06:09have also done very bad things, and now
00:06:12what we have to do is learn to live on a planet that has limits,
00:06:14límits,
00:06:18the great difference between the beginning of the 20th century and the 21st
00:06:21is that everything was based on an energy resource called oil,
00:06:25which we did not have, all that is coming now is based on an energy resource
00:06:29called sun, which we do have,
00:06:33we can continue to forbid or we can see it, I trust that we will see
00:06:36that the energy resource of the 21st century is the
00:06:39sun.
