María Chivite and Iñigo Urkullu showed their satisfaction with the decision making for renewable energies around La Palma. At the conference held on 13 March by the Presidents of the autonomous communities of the Spanish State, the step has been taken to deal not only with the problem of the moment, but also with the general energy crisis, which is a big knot. The ongoing war in Ukraine accelerates the energy transition for those who are eager or need to see statements with good eyes.

As is often the case with such expressions, the question is what they do not say. Who draws, organizes and guides the transition that is thought to be underway? The results will not be the same if Iberdrola does that which wants to whitewash in green, or if it is done through public policies that must be decided ensuring social participation. What do you want to change with this transition? Do you want to change energy sources so that you can continue with this unsustainable production and consumption model? “With the same logic as Emmanuel Macron’s choice for nuclear power. Or is it a model that requires excessive and unfair energy consumption that wants to be changed?

And above all, where do we want to go? Changing things so that everything stays the same is a path with very few results. Not enough for us, for the workers. In view of the care market in a few years, I do not think it is out of place to think that teeth have sharpened those who speculate on electricity consumption with the simple imaginary in the growth that the renewable market is going to experience.
