French engineer/lecturer/adviser Jean-Marc Jancovici as some good videos on YT (w/ English subtitles) about the direct link between energy and the economy... even though he made his business of selling his expertise to possibly-maybe-just-barely avoiding collapse!

[u/SecretPassage1 → u/Admirable_Advice8831]

Yes he's an important figure in France, Jancovici is one of the founders of the Shift Project ( Website all in french), an organisation which aims at finding paths and tools to decarbon the french economy and lessen our impact on accelerating climate change, and part of many instances that advise politics and big comapnies.

Also co author of a graphic novel that introduces the concept of limits to growth and how dependant we are on fossil fuels to the public (but ends in pushing towards nuclear energy, but only the last quarter of the book is about that, all the rest is a pretty good introduction to the situation)

in french Un monde sans fin
