- t0ddbonzalez 7y agoAh yes, the benefits of nuclear power with no responsibility for dealing with the waste. Shifting the burden elsewhere hardly seems fair, does it? Anyhow, I don't think that importing power from a neighboring country is a long-term solution to Germany's electricity needs.
- nicolaslem 7y agoFrance will not have plenty of nuclear power to spare, many reactors are old and there is no plan to build more of them. In a few decades most reactors will have to shutdown because these things don't live forever.
- Brave-Steak 7y agoThey don't even have enough spare capacity now. I think I remember reading that when peak loads were particularly high recently, they had to import power from Germany.
