Meanwhile France, a famously pro-nuclear country, has to shut down many of its nuclear power plants in summer because they can't cool them adequately.
(Yes, I'm sure issues can be fixed. Point is, nuclear has an awful lot of practical problems for supposedly being miraculous.)
- freemint 4y agoNo, they didn't fix it but is has gone better. Today 25338 MW from nuclear. A year ago 37119 MW from nuclear. So almost 1/3rd down. Source: https://www.rte-france.com/en/eco2mix/power-generation-energy-source https://www.rte-france.com/en/eco2mix/power-generation-energ...
- forty 4y agoYeah, I'm French and I'm a bit sad that people seems to deal with nuclear energy as if it was some kind a religious thing. Both sides, anti nuclear who seem to ignore the great benefits it can bring and the pro nuclear who can't seem to see how it sucks (not because it's dangerous or not green, but because it's expensive and doesn't work half of the time because of maintenance or heat - oh and also because we cannot build new reactor in reasonable time and budget anymore )
