> but France manages pretty well with 70% of energy coming from nuclear so it is an actually existing counterpoint. How is that embarrassing state "pretty well"? They use dirty power from their neighbours to manage their support holes created through that narrow minded energy infrastructure. Just like every summer, they've been struggling due to too hot rivers and now those "cracks" in those reactors...France has shown that focusing on nuclear is sheer stupidity. Stupidity funded by the French taxpayer btw and it goes only downwards from here since their old fleet is not getting younger and everything they build takes too long and costs too much. https://www.euractiv.com/section/electricity/news/nuclear-power-dead-and-alive-sp-proclaims/ https://www.euractiv.com/section/electricity/news/nuclear-po... https://jeromeaparis.substack.com/p/edfs-woes-are-a-bigger-long-term https://jeromeaparis.substack.com/p/edfs-woes-are-a-bigger-l...
