Entretien avec Baba Wamé, "l'électricité: c'est la vie!"
Baba Wamé, est sociologue et professeur universitaire à Yaoundé 2, Cameroun.
Dans cet entretien, il me parle des coupures d'électricité supportées par toute la population. Elles empêchent les citoyens de travailler et de vivre. Elles suppriment également l'indépendance de chacun en tant qu'individu.
Il y aurait bien d'autres moyens de générer l'électricité, solaire, par exemple, mais qu'en est-il pour l'Afrique? L'énergie solaire n'est utile que pour les touristes? Et les ampoules économiques? Le sont-elles réellement? Comment savoir les choisir?
This video about electrical energy efficiency was filmed at the lift09 conference.
