00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.330
<v ->It's the bigger risk for business.</v>

2
00:00:03.330 --> 00:00:05.880
It's the bigger risk for the economy.

3
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:09.840
Forty percent of the CEOs in the world are thinking that in ten years

4
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:12.300
their business model will not exist anymore.

5
00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:14.126
Because of economical questions

6
00:00:14.126 --> 00:00:16.980
and because of sustainability questions.

7
00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.830
I think this is the main criteria

8
00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:22.130
for politicians to take the right decision.

9
00:00:22.130 --> 00:00:24.713
(upbeat music)

10
00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:28.350
Boralex's business is to fight climate change

11
00:00:28.350 --> 00:00:30.630
by producing green electricity,

12
00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:32.930
and make it affordable to participate

13
00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:36.983
to the economically viable transition.

14
00:00:36.983 --> 00:00:39.671
In North America, the grid is one thing

15
00:00:39.671 --> 00:00:42.078
which is a big limitation.

16
00:00:42.078 --> 00:00:44.910
We come from a power system

17
00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:48.476
with centralized power plant where you can define

18
00:00:48.476 --> 00:00:52.170
how much power you produce every minute.

19
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:55.650
Typically with coal, nuclear, or gas,

20
00:00:55.650 --> 00:00:57.180
you can do that.

21
00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:59.190
With something which is more variable

22
00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:01.500
this means more storage on the grid,

23
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:05.160
more storage distributed on the network.

24
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:07.800
So there are a lot of things which will evolve.

25
00:01:07.800 --> 00:01:11.010
The question in Europe is accelerate the permitting,

26
00:01:11.010 --> 00:01:14.490
authorizing projects, authorizing production

27
00:01:14.490 --> 00:01:16.594
of green electricity.

28
00:01:16.594 --> 00:01:21.060
When you hit the wall of the energy crisis in Europe today,

29
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:22.680
they understand that they have to accelerate.

30
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.870
But as an industry, that's something we're saying

31
00:01:24.870 --> 00:01:27.186
since probably 15 years.

32
00:01:27.186 --> 00:01:30.707
To work in sustainable development globally

33
00:01:30.707 --> 00:01:35.507
and do my part with our team, give me some purpose.

34
00:01:35.507 --> 00:01:39.780
Like any parent, I want to contribute to try

35
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:42.180
to let a place to live to my kids,

36
00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:45.000
which is acceptable and more than acceptable.

37
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.613
So it's important to keep this planet viable.

38
00:01:49.613 --> 00:01:51.543
There is just one place to live.
