Maybe, but hopefully not or then global outage must be expected when sun/wind goes down... Random energy production is no subsidy
The problem is France, *not* nuclear, hopefully people understands this: (among) strictest quarantine in the world, no work for many months, social unrest and protests, bad planing ... there would be a lot to say to each of these points, but they all are responsible to the current situation we are seeing with NPP still in maintenance.
- locallost 4y agoI already heard this argument last year, that unpredictable wind and solar energy can work only because they are backed by French nuclear. This year has put a big question mark on that, and I think policy makers are willing to try because there is no realistic alternative in the short term. Even Britain is moving to remove the de facto ban on onshore wind, a push led by Tories of all people [1].
