No, of course not. But as I said, around 80-85% of the solar energy production was stopped. Wind and hydro are not enough so we're burning coal when we could.

France is also making a transition to renewable energy but they are not giving up on nuclear because they understand the risks are very, very low and they can produce enough energy to fulfill their needs and to sell to their neighbours.
- mrpopo 6y ago> France is also making a transition to renewable energy but they are not giving up on nuclear Unfortunately there is very strong support on dropping nuclear power in France in favor of renewable energy, across almost all the political spectrum. Nuclear share of electricity production is already planned to be lowered from 70% to 50%.
- olau 6y agoNuclear is being phased out due to cost. As more things are discovered that could go wrong, it gets more and more expensive to fix all of them. Nuclear is also bad at this kind of thing. You really want either storage (storing heat is easy, by the way), or cheap plants. It doesn't really matter if they are expensive to run as long as they only run a few days a year.
