00:26 Hello Léonie, we talk a lot about renewable energies today.

00:30 Wind turbines seem to play a significant role in this area.

00:34 Can you tell us more about it?

00:37 Hello Sophie, yes, that's right.

00:39 Wind energy is a central pillar of the future energy mix.

00:44 It perfectly complements hydraulics and photovoltaics.

00:48 A wind turbine produces two-thirds of its energy during the cold months in winter,

00:53 when demand is higher, and one-third during summer.

00:57 It is complementary to photovoltaics, and that's what makes it so attractive.

01:02 Unfortunately, there are detractors to this technology.

01:04 We hear that its ecological assessment is not so good.

01:07 Among all energy production sources, only dams have a better ecological load.

01:13 This ecological assessment takes into account all the impacts of the different technologies,

01:18 whether it's in their electricity production, waste potential, or greenhouse gases,

01:24 on the entire lifecycle of this production.

01:26 Wind energy has a very, very good ecological assessment.

01:30 But Léonie, can we recycle wind turbines?

01:33 In fact, we hear that a wind turbine is not recyclable.

01:37 And that's wrong.

01:38 90% of the components of a wind turbine are recyclable.

01:42 And you, Léonie, you are an environmental engineer,

01:44 so you have a particular sensitivity to the issue.

01:47 Yes, Sophie, that's right.

01:49 That's why I did my job, but it's also a cause that really means a lot to me.

01:54 It's not easy every day, not everywhere, but I believe in it.

01:58 Wind energy is essential to the energy transition.

02:02 When we develop wind farms, we rely on specialists

02:07 who will study all the potential impacts of a park on the natural environment and on the human environment.

02:14 This allows us to develop wind farms that are environmentally friendly

02:19 and balanced for all stakeholders.

02:23 It's great to give a meaning to your work.

02:26 I really admire your commitment.
