There is a relatively simple desert called Poire belle Hélène (Beautiful Helen pear). It is on the menu of many restaurants in France.It simply basically consists of pears poached in syrup, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup.Nice and simple, and yet elegant and refined :-)Now, I picked this dish because it connects to a lot of history.The creator of this dish is Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935). Nicknamed “the king of chefs and chef of kings”, this man had a tremendous impact on French cooking and it is extremely difficult to understate his influence. He may largely be responsible for the current international fame of French cuisine.Now, what did Auguste Escoffier do? He basically took all the traditional French recipes, techniques, polished them and codified them in a book called Le Guide Cullinaire. This book is kind of a mix between a cookbook and a guide on how to manage a French restaurant efficiently and without waste.To understand why Auguste Escoffier was so influent, let’s look at a couple of examples of what he did:In his younger days, Auguste Escoffier was an army cook, who participated in military campains and often had to be inventive with the ingredients he had, and be efficient when preparing them. It also allowed him to experiment with canned food, a rather new technique in those days. He integrated much of that philosophy as well as the army discipline in the way he managed restaurants. He developed the concept of brigade de cuisine. i.e., how the staff of a restaurant should be hierarchically organised and how tasks should be delegated to be efficient.Another example: traditionally, French cooking makes a heavy use of sauces. You could say that it is one of the main characteristics of French cuisine. Before Auguste Escoffier, it wasn’t uncommon for cookbooks to contain hundreds of recipes for sauces. But from the perspective of a restaurant owner it is a nightmare: if there are hundreds of different sauces, you cannot prep them all in advance, so you will have to either reduce the number of items on the menu, of reduce the number of customers because you will have to create sauces on demand. Auguste Escoffier proposed an elegant solution: codify five “mother sauces”, and derive all other sauces from them. This means that a restaurant owner only needs to prep in advance five different sauces, and quickly transform them into another sauce if needed.As for the name of the dish, it was an homage to the operetta of Jacques Offenbach called La Belle Hélène (The Beautiful Helen) which satirises the Trojan War and was rather popular the year Auguste Escoffier created that dessert. Offenbach was a famous French composer who wrote over a hundred operettas. Actually, a tune from one of his operettas was reused to create the infamous “French Cancan”.

It allows us to create a network of electricity production sites that spread over a wide area. So for example, it would allow you to create solar power on the roof of your house, and feed extra power back into the grid. This is part of what makes the grid “smart”: components can “talk” and “listen” to each other, making the supply of electricity much more flexible, reliable, and efficient. With smart grid solutions, we are no longer just passive consumers of energy, but active producers and consumers of clean energy – prosumers!An electricity grid – the system that connects power stations to consumers – can handle large shares of variable renewable energy if it is designed to do so. Adding wind and solar on top of ‘business as usual’ is not how it works. What’s needed is a gradual transformation of the whole energy system to accommodate modern energy production and consumption.Typically the ones who claim that wind and solar will bring trouble to the gridare the old players, who failed to take renewable energy seriously and over-invested in fossil fuel capacities instead. Renewable energy is now eating their profits and making their old business models out-of-date.

That this will require a blend of renewable energy, efficiency, carbon capture and CO2 removal from the atmosphere, we can say without taking a strong political standpoint. But the concrete solutions become political. Do we choose to facilitate strong growth in solar power and a global carbon tax that will go beyond the fossil industry? Are we focusing on carbon capture and storage, which can extend the use of oil and gas? Do we have the capacity to do both, which will be even better for the climate, without going beyond the rest of society?Researchers should not take these choices. However, their job is to help understand the consequences of them. The challenge for the dissemination is that the debate debate moves beyond the research front.The scientific method is slow and thoughtful by nature. Are we supposed to say that we would like to have a few decades to consider every single measure? Or should we dare to guide, with the proviso that we speak out of the best of today's knowledge?In my opinion, our social responsibility requires us to do more of the last than we do today.THE BEST REASON:A cleaner world and the end of all the socialist subsidies for oil and coal:Toxic air, water, soils and workplaces are responsible for the diseases that kill one in every six people around the world, the landmark report found, and the true total could be millions higher because the impact of many pollutants are poorly understood. The deaths attributed to pollution are triple those from Aids, malaria and tuberculosis combined. The vast majority of the pollution deaths occur in poorer nations and in some, such as India, Chad and Madagascar, pollution causes a quarter of all deaths. The international researchers said this burden is a hugely expensive drag on developing economies.https://thinkprogress.org/lamber...Nearly half of world’s coal plants run at a loss, study findsThe Other Reason to Shift away from Coal: Air Pollution That Kills Thousands Every YearTrump isn't saving coalTrump’s New Pollution Rules Still Won’t Save the Coal IndustryHow Big Oil Clings to Billions in Government Giveawayshttps://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/04/oil-subsidies-renewable-energy-tax-breaks/Fossil fuel subsidies are a staggering $5 tn per yearA new study finds 6.5% of global GDP goes to subsidizing dirty fossil fuelshttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2017/aug/07/fossil-fuel-subsidies-are-a-staggering-5-tn-per-yearhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X16304867Over the past century, the federal government has pumped more than $470 billion into the oil and gas industry in the form of generous, never-expiring tax breaks. Once intended to jump-start struggling domestic drillers, these incentives have become a tidy bonus for some of the world’s most profitable companies.Taxpayers currently subsidize the oil industry by as much as $4.8 billion a year, with about half of that going to the big five oil companies—ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips—which get an average tax break of $3.34 on every barrel of domestic crude they produce. With Washington looking under the couch cushions for sources of new revenue, oil prices topping $100 a barrel, and the world feeling the heat from its dependence on fossil fuels, there’s been a renewed push to close these decades-old loopholes. But history suggests that Big Oil won’t let go of its perks without a brawl.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0305750X16304867A new paper published in Climatic Change estimates that when we account for the pollution costs associated with our energy sources, gasoline costs an extra $3.80 per gallon, diesel an additional $4.80 per gallon, coal a further 24 cents per kilowatt-hour, and natural gas another 11 cents per kilowatt-hour that we don’t see in our fuel or energy bills.https://www.ucsusa.org/clean-energy/coal-and-other-fossil-fuels/hidden-cost-of-fossils#.WrI0pGrOWUlGreen energy feels the heat as subsidies go to fossil fuelsGlobal fossil fuel subsidies totaled $544 billion in 2012, compared to only $101 billion for renewables. The International Monetary Fund estimates fossil fuel subsidies for 2015 to be $5.3 trillion - an amount equal to 6.5% of global GDP. More than 40% of this represents subsidies for coal, the most environmentally damaging of all fossil fuels. Although not good news on its face, the disproportionate funding for fossil fuels represents a tremendous opportunity to shift funding to renewable energy without an overall increase in costs.Global Subsidies - Fossil Fuels vs. Renewables — Environmental GraphitiRoger Fjellstad Olsen's answer to How can we combat climate change?Roger Fjellstad Olsen's answer to How will we ever truly battle global warming when going green is only afforded by the wealthy?
