I'm from Sweden, and we've also been shutting down reactors, but Germany is the biggest offender in Europe on this particular issue, I hope Germans are raising hell about this at home just like I try to over here. Sweden is planning for super energy intensive green steel, the Northvolt battery production and recycling facility, huge datacenters for Microsoft/Google/Amazon/Facebook, and on top of that a rapidly accelerating electrification of private vehicles. To cover this they are planning to expand hydro, but the estimates I've seen are for an additional 600MW which is literally nothing in context (green steel alone is estimated to need 9000MW) and will do fuck all for the new requirements from the above, it's fucking looney tunes. I personally think the environmentally best short-term solution would be for all the shut down but technically still usable reactors, in countries like Sweden and Germany, to be turned back on while we construct new safer and more future proof ones. I should buy a UPS.
