Today, people are being subjected to a new form of insecurity - in the form of access to energy. In under a decade, electricity bills have rocketed by over 20%! How can an increase of this magnitude be justified? And could the price hike have been avoided?

A lack of political foresight, self-centeredness on the part of States, poor management by industrialists and European Commission dogmatism… is Europe on the verge of a blackout? This investigation endeavours to reveal the series of decisions that have led to this new form of insecurity, to this situation in which citizens lack the power to control access to energy.
