Mega What?

Environment

Unplug the myths. Reconnect to facts.

The energy transition lies at the heart of today’s most heated debates (carbon capture, wind turbines, solar power, the return of nuclear energy, raising dam heights, hydrogen production, geothermal drilling, battery installations). Contradictory information is everywhere, and opinions are scattered in every direction. Social media platforms — particularly Facebook and LinkedIn — are flooded with comments and posts saying everything and its opposite on the subject.

Starting from a message that sparked widespread reactions, a slightly offbeat animation short-circuits convoluted explanations and blows up misinformation.

EPISODE 7: How Much Does “Free Energy” Cost?

In this episode, still with a touch of humor, we explore energy self-sufficiency. No more grid connection fees, no more bills for energy drawn from the network — but does that really mean lower costs? What are the societal and solidarity impacts?
