In unrelated news, lowering nuclear to 50% of electricity is set as a political goal.
In other unrelated news, safely maintaining the current nuclear electric power would have required a massive buildup starting 10 years ago (to replace the reactors that are currently arriving at the end of their life).
- pfdietz 5y agoI thought the political goal was maintaining nuclear as high as 50%.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoPolitical promises are rarely so detailed. Though that sarcasm of mine is slightly outdated, a new promise (exploiting the recent high energy prices) is indeed to build some new reactors, postponing the previous promise of reaching 50% (from the current 75%) from 2025 to 2035 : https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Macron-says-France-will-construct-new-reactors https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Macron-says-Fran... (Because it's not like the politicians aren't aware of these issues, it's just that it's rarely politically convenient to raise them.)
