Nice one, great read and thanks for quoting POW Vanessa :)

Not easy to thread the fine line between pro and anti glacier lift in La Grave, I'd say I share most of what you say here.

Thanks Mathieu ! Yes, it's definitely hard for me to have a strong opinion about this third section of the lift. I can hear legitimate points on both sides. In the end, it amounts to what would be the smartest collective decision. Let's see how this sensitive topic unfolds in a near future...

for sure, I keep changing my mind about it, I wish I had a stronger stance as many do... interesting podcast from the past (in french) https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/affaires-sensibles/affaires-sensibles-du-mercredi-27-septembre-2023-5468573

Great read.

I also watched "Is it time to break the law" very thought provoking. I conclusion was not for me or most people, we still have a long way to go to "bring along" most people we cant afford to alienate potential support or fire up the right wing politicians into more drastic laws.

Excellent Substack, keep it up.

Thanks Kevin & yep such a tightrope in terms of bringing people along, while drawing attention to the problem, versus alienating them. This is one of the best pieces I've read on Just Stop Oil: https://www.ft.com/content/4a0ab6f3-83fc-4e89-b6a2-c05c85f3791b
