Macron warned Monday that forced energy savings might have to be considered in coming months if voluntary efforts aren't sufficient. He said energy rationing plans are being prepared “in case' and that “cuts will happen as a last resort.”
“The best energy is that which we don't consume,” the French leader said at a news conference, where he urged French businesses and households to save energy, including by turning down heating and air conditioning.?
