Energetic sobriety: Gilles Le Gendre admits ditching his tumble dryer in favor of a clothesline

The deputy from Paris invited the French to take small steps to reduce their energy consumption. A message transmitted massively by the majority since the beginning of the school year.

After Bruno Le Maire’s turtleneck sweater and Élisabeth Borne’s puffer jacket, here is Gilles Le Gendre’s tancarville. The Renaissance deputy for the 2nd arrondissement of Paris confided to Franceinfo on Wednesday that he had abandoned his energy-hungry dryer.

“Yo, that’s it, at home, my wife and I, we have decreed: we no longer use the dryer. Honestly, it’s not very complicated to do,” she said.

Since the beginning of the school year, the members of the majority have redoubled their advice to the French to lower the electricity bill. The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Le Maire, appeared this Wednesday with a black turtleneck on Twitter, after announcing on Tuesday: “You will no longer see me with a tie but with a turtleneck. And I think it will be very good, it will allow us to save energy, show sobriety”.

“We don’t ask people to live in the dark”

On this day, Elisabeth Borne appeared dressed in a down jacket, like during your interview with the mayor of Lyon Grégory Doucet in Matignon this Tuesday. The Prime Minister keeps repeating that for this winter the French must heat their houses to 19 degrees and no more.

“Every Frenchman must find the means they have and that are not painful. We do not ask people to live in the dark. We simply say that when a room is unoccupied and the power goes out, that’s it.” % are all ready”, added Gilles Le Gendre this Wednesday.

As a reminder, according to figures from the Agency for the Environment and Energy Management (Ademe), the consumption of a dryer is around 350 kWh per year, that is, a consumption greater than that of a washing machine.
