Winter is about to arrive (just around the corner, after yet another anomalous heat wave) and prices are skyrocketing: the race for pellets and wood for those who don't use gas or electricity will be tough, and in Europe every country he equips himself as best he can.
A few days ago, Proxi-TotalEnergies, already a giant in hydrocarbons, launched an automatic distribution system for pellets and wood in France. Is called Proxibois, and is a new service for individuals accessible 24 hours a day, 24 days a week with no quantity limits.
A pellet “pump”.
Proxibois allows you to have access to pellets or wood logs at predetermined collection points. From the service site consult a map to understand if your area is covered by the service.
The order is placed directly online, choosing the exact number of bags or pallets you need. You pay by credit card in a single installment or, with a supplement, in 3 or 4 installments, with debit 30 days after the order. With a supplement of €60 you can receive home delivery.
The art of getting by in high tech sauce
Proxibois logs and pellets are 100% certified with high energy performance… they arrive already cut into pieces of 25 or 40 centimeters, suitable for wood stoves.
The Proxibois system is being developed at a national level, with some regions better supplied than others, especially when demand is greater... But it makes us reflect, in these very contradictory times, this high tech re-edition of the art of making do (complete with commercial, which I show you here).
Given the proper proportions, the online refueling of the logs reminds me of the reflections of modernity of the Flintstones.
We hope not to see many others, waiting for the peak of fossil fuels.
